Syntax CREate FIle=filename [FORCE] [COMmand=commandstring] [SCRipt=scriptname] [PERManentredirect] [LIMIT=limit]

Description This new command creates a text file containing output from a specific command or script. This is useful for collecting debug output. The file cannot be edited, renamed, deleted, or uploaded while it is receiving input.

Parameter	Description
FIle	Name of the text file that you want to create. The filename is in the
	format [device:]filename.txt and can be:
	• uppercase and lowercase letters
	•	digits
	•	# $ % & ! ' ( ) + , - . ; = @ [ ] ^ _ ` { } ~ and space
	device indicates the physical location where the file is stored. The
	default is flash.
	Default: no default
FORCE	Overwrites the text file if one already exists. If force is not specified
	and the file exists, the command has no effect.
COMmand	Command whose output is used to generate the text when it is next
	issued. Commandstring is the command syntax enclosed in quotes.
	Command and script are mutually exclusive.
SCRipt	Script whose output is used to generate the text when it is next issued.
	The script is treated as a simple list of commands. Flow control
	statements are not accepted to ensure that the extra text the script
	produces is not in the output file. Scriptname has the same format as
	filename except it must have either a .cfg or .scp extension.
	Command and script are mutually exclusive.
PERManentredirect	Permanently directs output to the designated text file until the reset
	file permanentredirect command is issued or the router or switch is
	rebooted.
