Troubleshooting
This chapter describes how to identify and resolve software problems related to the Cisco IOS software
on the Catalyst 3750-X or 3560-X switch. Depending on the nature of the problem, you can use the
command-line interface (CLI), the device manager, or Network Assistant to identify and solve problems.
Unless otherwise noted, the term switch refers to a Catalyst 3750-X or 3560-X standalone switch and to
a Catalyst 3750-X switch stack.
Additional troubleshooting information, such as LED descriptions, is provided in the hardware
installation guide.
