Introduction

The dsptech (display technical support) command is available for service and higher users on the IGX and BPX platforms. The dsptech command provides these benefits:

  • Minimizes data capture time for quick look assessment capabilities.

  • Provides required details not routinely available.

  • Checks connection databases for consistency.

Prerequisites

Requirements

Readers of this document should have knowledge of IGX and BPX platforms.

Components Used

The information in this document is based on all IGX and BPX hardware revisions.

Note: Some of the earlier versions of IGX and BPX switch software have different dsptech syntax and semantics. For versions 9.2.30 and earlier and versions 9.1.24 and earlier, there is no dsptech command.

The information in this document was created from the devices in a specific lab environment. All of the devices used in this document started with a cleared (default) configuration. If your network is live, make sure that you understand the potential impact of any command.

Conventions

For more information on document conventions, refer to the Cisco Technical Tips Conventions.

Output of the dsptech Command

When you issue the dsptech command, you see output similar to this:
