turning off debugging

[tedauction]

Hello, is it necessary to turn off all debugging when finished with a remote session to a Cisco swtich/router to prevent load on the CPU

i.e will this debugging CPU load continue even after you have exited the remote session ?

I always turn off debugging when finished troubleshoot.

no debug all

this removes all debugging.

Yes, because, generally debugging output goes to the console, which is always present.

hi,

you must take extreme precaution when turning on debug in the first place.

the debug will remain even if you exit your remote session.

you can verify if still running with the show debug command.

issue a quick u all or undebug all in privileged mode will stop any debugging that's running.
