you might be having on your network. Debug commands provide extensive,
informative displays to help you interpret any possible problems.
Table 1-4 contains important information about debug commands.
Debugging is assigned a high priority in your router CPU process, and it can
render your router unusable. For this reason, use debug commands only to
troubleshoot specific problems.The best time to use debug commands is
during periods of low network traffic and few users to decrease the likelihood
that the debug command processing overhead affects network users.
Information
You can find additional information and documentation about the
debug commands in the Debug Command Reference document on
the Cisco IOS software documentation CD-ROM that came with
your router.
If you are not sure where to find this document on the CD-ROM, use
the Search function in the Verity Mosaic browser that comes with
the CD-ROM.
To turn off any debugging, enter the undebug all command.
If you want to use debug commands during a Telnet session with
your router, you must first enter the terminal monitor command.
