Figure C-19. Example of Show Tech CommandSaving show tech Command Output to a Text File

When you enter the show tech command, a summary of switch operational data is sent to your terminal emulator. You can use your terminal emulator’s text capture features to save the show tech data to a text file for viewing, printing, or sending to an associate to diagnose a problem.

For example, if your terminal emulator is the Hyperterminal application available with Microsoft® Windows® software, you can copy the show tech output to a file and then use either Microsoft Word or Notepad to display the data. (In this case, Microsoft Word provides the data in an easier-to-read format.)
