Usage Guidelines
The
showcable-diagnosticstdr command is supported on specific modules. See the Release Notes for Cisco IOS Release 12.2 SX on the Catalyst 6500 and Cisco 7600 Supervisor Engine 720, Superivsor Engine 32, and Supervisor Engine 2 for the list of the modules that support TDR.
In the event of an open or shorted cable, the accuracy of length of where the cable is open or shorted is plus or minus 2 meters.
The pair length can be displayed in meters (m), centimeters (cm), or kilometers (km).
If the TDR test has not been run on the port, the following message is displayed:
TDR test was never run on Gi2/12
Examples
This example shows how to display the information about the TDR test:
Router# show cable-diagnostics tdr interface gigabitethernet 8/1
TDR test last run on: February 25 11:18:31
