File Transfers

Copying Diagnostic Data to a Remote Host, USB Device, PC or UNIX Workstation

Copying Crash Log Data Content to a Destination Device

Syntax: copy crash-log [mm>] tftp <ip-address> <filepath and filename>

copy crash-log [mm>] usb <filename>

copy crash-log [mm>] xmodem

where: mm Retrieves the crash log from the switch’s chassis processor. When mm is specified, crash files from both management modules are copied.

These commands copy the Crash Log content to a remote host, attached USB device, or to a serially connected PC or UNIX workstation. You can copy the management module (mm) switch information. If you do not specify either, the command defaults to the mm data.

For example, to copy the Crash Log for slot C to a file in a PC connected to the switch:

At this point, press [Enter] and start the Xmodem command sequence in your terminal emulator.

Copying Crash Logs with Redundant Management. When you are using redundant management, the copy crash-logcommand operates somewhat differently.

Syntax: copy crash-log [mm] tftp <ip-address> <filename>

Copies both the active and standby management modules’ crash logs to a user-specified file. If no parameter is specified, files from all modules (management and interface) are concatenated.

mm:retrieves the crash logs from both management modules and concatenates them.
