Interesting that a command like that would not be in the same privilege level as the show command.
By design Cisco will not run a command if there is a conflicting sequence of characters. sh (show) sh (shutdown) If there is shutdown command there should also be a show command.

Now, we've got a nice gigabit backbone running. Just a word of warning though. When using the SH shortcut to show interface, make sure you're at the right level of privelege (for want of a better word). We'd only had the equipment in place for a couple of weeks when I logged onto one of them. I'm not sure how I did it, but when I did enter the shortcut (sh) to look at the gigabit interface, I was at the wrong level. Instead of saying show interface, at this level the shortcut meant shutdown the interface. Oops. A minute or so later people from Lab and MI were calling wondering why they coulnd't connect to the HCIS system. Took a few days to live that down!

If not.... You definitely want a managed switch. You will be able to see the interface statistics, network statistics and the like. A 2950-12 or 24 port works great. Amazing deal. Cisco 2950T-24 24 ports 10/100 and 2 1000BT copper connections. great for X-over uplink or GBit to a server. By doing a show interface FastEthernet0/1 (or whatever port your machine is plugged into) you will see collision, runts, giants, interface speed, duplex and more. Helpful in troubleshooting machines/networks. Also helps to be able to shut a port off during a DoS or virus outbreak! -James At 10:08 4/3/03, Lum, David wrote: >Showing my switch ignorance...is there a big functional difference between a >cheaper D-Link and other layer 2 managed switches? > >I could probably sell them on upgrading to a $400 D-Link if I credited the >price of their old one towards the new one, dunno that I could justify it to >my personal satisfaction though. > >Thanks for the help, >Dave Lum - [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sr. Network Specialist - Textron Financial >503-675-5510 > >-----Original Message----- >From: Ely, Don [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sent: Thursday, April 03, 2003 06:46 AM >To: NT 2000 Discussions >Subject: RE: Full & Half Duplex > > >It's "possible" that the switch didn't reset itself.
