Important Points to Remember
• The interface and port must be enabled (configured— the interface command) 
before running TDR. An error message is generated if you have not enabled the 
interface.
• The interface on the far-end device must be shut down before running TDR.
• Since TDR is an intrusive test on an interface that is not establishing a link, do 
not run TDR on an interface that is passing traffic.
• When testing between two devices, do not run the test on both ends of the cable.
