Viewing the show commands for both VSX switches from one switch

You can view the outputs of the show command for the primary and secondary VSX switches from one switch. When you enter a show command with the vsx-peer parameter, the command displays the output from the peer device.

For example, the following command was entered on the primary switch. The vsx-peerparameter indicates to the software to display the output as if the command was entered on the secondary switch.

switch# show vsx status vsx-peer

NOTE:

The show commands that display the file system contents, such as show logging or show core-dump, do not support the vsx-peer parameter.

If the switches do not have the VSX configuration or the ISL is down, the output from the VSX peer switch is not displayed.
