I think the most common usage would be during setup or troubleshooting
you can use 'show controllers serial ' to see if a particular
interface has a DCE or DTE cable connected.  If it's DCE that command
will also show you the current clockrate.

...reading the Cisco Press Support Book. They talked about the 'show
controllers' command. My question is when and why would you use this
command? I read that the output can be overwhelming, and that some of
the
information is irrelevant! Go figure!. But again, when would you need
the
information form this command? Thanks for the insight.
