Using Debug Commands
Because debugging output is assigned high priority in the CPU process, it can render the system
Caution
unusable. For this reason, use debug commands only to troubleshoot specific problems or during
troubleshooting sessions with Cisco technical support staff. Moreover, it is best to use debug commands
during periods of lower network traffic and fewer users. Debugging during these periods decreases the
likelihood that increased debug command processing overhead will affect system use.
All debug commands are entered in privileged EXEC mode, and most debug commands take no
arguments. Use the show debugging command to display the state of each debugging option.
To list and see a brief description of all the debugging command options, enter the command debug ? at
the command line in privileged EXEC mode. For example:
switch# debug ?
Not all debugging commands listed in the debug ? output are described in this document. Commands
are included here based on their usefulness in assisting you to diagnose network problems. Commands
not included are typically used internally by Cisco engineers during the development process and are not
intended for use outside the Cisco environment.
To enable all system diagnostics, enter the debug all command at the command line in privileged EXEC
mode. For example:
switch# debug all
To turn off all diagnostic output, enter the no debug all command at the command line in privileged
EXEC mode. For example:
switch# no debug all
