Usage
Information You must use this command to enable core dump logging before a software
exception occurs. If the FTP server is unreachable, Dell Networking OS aborts the
application core dump.
When you enable this command to allow the system to automatically upload
application core dumps to an FTP server, you are requested to enter a username
and password. Use the username and password of the FTP server where the core
files are being moved. The password can be up to 15 alphanumeric characters only;
no special characters are allowed. After you enter the password, an FTP URL is
created with the credentials in the operating system. The CLI monitors application
core dumps in the unit. Any application core dumps that occur are automatically
uploaded to the FTP server.
Because flash space may be limited, using this command ensures your entire crash
kernel files are uploaded successfully and completely. You can only configure a
single coredump server. Configuration of a new coredump server over-writes any
previously configured server.
NOTE: You must disable logging coredump before you designate a new server
destination for your core dumps.
Offline Diagnostic Commands
Use the offline diagnostics test suite to isolate faults and debug switch hardware. While tests are running,
the system results are saved as a text file in the flash directory: TestReport-N.txt , where N is 0,1, or 2 for
