HOWTO: Work out which services are in use on cat 6k

[robwu2006]

Hi All,

We are in the middle of replacing 2 x  old cat6k which are end of life soon with some new hardware/software. Current boxes are functioning as a collapsed core/distribution switch + router.

Questions are:

1) Is there a one or some commands (NOT 'sh run') which will let me what services this cisco box is offering ( ie Layer2, Layer3, etc). I can work out from the image that its running what features the box can support, but I would actually like to know without looking at the configure what services it is providing.

2) What is the recommended upgrade box in the cat 6k family?

3) What are some alternative ( cisco ) boxes which could be the replacement ( nexus 5500, cat 4k, etc ) ?

A brief summary the boxes we are replacing hardware/software wise:

IOS (tm) s222_rp Software (s222_rp-ADVENTERPRISEK9_WAN-M), Version 12.2(18)SXF16, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc2)

Hi Sunil,

I dont have the 'show run all' command on this box, but there is a 'show run full'

core01#sh run ?   

  brief      configuration without certificate data

  full       full configuration

  identity   Show identity profile/policy information

  interface  Show interface configuration

  map-class  Show map class information

  module     Show module configuration

  vlan       Show L2 VLAN information

  |          Output modifiers

core01#sh run full | i services

core01#sh run full | i service

service timestamps debug datetime msec show-timezone

service timestamps log datetime localtime

service password-encryption

service counters max age 10

core01#

Thanks for that command tip, but this doesn't show me any L2/L3 features that the box is running, ie HSRP,  switch modes, routing protocols,etc..

surely there must be a simple way to work this out, WITHOUT viewing the config right??

surely there must be a simple way to work this out, WITHOUT viewing the config right??

Well there are individual commands such as "sh ip protocols", "sh standby" etc. but if you don't know what is running then you could be running a lot of commands and getting no output.

The simple way is to look at the running-config. Bear in mind a lot of the config is default so you are really just skim reading to pick up the bits that aren't. But i can't think of an easier way to be honest and it shouldn't take that long. For example finding out what routing protocols it is using is as simple as scrolling down to the "router " configuration.

Also bear in mind that while the config may seem huge on a 6500 a lot of it is simply the interface configuration because you can have so many interfaces and if there is a standard config on the interfaces then you can simply skip past these.

As such there is no command to display the services alone.
