It was a few years ago when I took the Cisco INTRO exam. One of the questions showed me the output of a show controller command on a 10 Mbps Ethernet interface on a switch. It asked me to determine the type of cable attached to the interface and a few multiple guess options to follow. It indicated as if I could tell if it was a straight through cable attached when it should be a crossover. That's all I remember. But now my question is, how does that command work? It has been teasing me ever since and I can't figure out the command. Perhaps the last multiple guess option was something like, "It is not possible from the information above..." Anyone know what I'm talking about?

show controller command on ethernet interface

It was a DTE or DCE serial crossover that I remember, not ethernet---probably asked on a serial interface. Do a sh contr s0/0 or whatever your serial interface is, with a DB-60 DTE/DCE crossover cable attached, and it will show you if it is DTE or DCE. I have to recert for NP in a few months, if that tells you how long it's been since I took CCNA. Not bad memory for an old man, eh?lol
