Which command shows a list of last connections on a switch?

Hi, I have a Cisco switch: WS-C2970G-24T-E and my question is how could we know which ports are available by getting a list of last connection on all ports.

Is there any command we can type in telnet session?

Thank you.

"show port" is the command which will provide the detailed information about all ports present on the switch.

I think the 2970 is a ios based switch so it does not know the show port. Show interface status will give a similar display.

This will only tell you what the current condition is not if a port has been used at a previous time

You could do logging or collect snmp up/down trap messages but a quick and dirty way may be to just clear the counters on all the interfaces and then go back and see if they have changed after a period of time.

SHOW INTERFACE STATS will be a little easier to read that a full SHOW INTERFACE when looking at these counters.
