I don't know if you are using IOS or CatOS, but if you are using IOS, at Cat6500 you can try "sh catalyst6000". I don't know is there a similar command at Cat4000.

I think there's no other commands for such task. Anyway, maybe you might consider trying it by SNMP.

Please, take a look at "How to Get Catalyst Switch Backplane Utilization Using SNMP":
