Switch Management Commands 2305
The show switch stack-member-number command also shows details of the
switch configuration including the SFS last attempt status for the specified
unit. If there is a stack firmware synchronization (SFS) operation in progress,
the switch status will show as Updating Code.
The show switch command may show an SDM Mismatch value in the Switch
Status field. This value indicates that the unit joined the stack, but is running
a different SDM template than the management unit. This status should be
temporary; the stack unit should automatically reload using the template
running on the stack manager.
Use the show supported switchtype command to display switch SIDs.
Use the show switch stack-ports command to display details regarding
stacking links.
Use the show slot command to display details regarding slot configuration.
Use the show sdm prefer command to display the SDM template
configuration.
The show switch stack-ports stack-path command is useful in tracking the
path a packet may take when traversing stacking links. The command shows
active paths only, not those that may be taken after a stack failover or stack
reconvergence.
The following table describes the fields in the switch stack status example.
