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

Using a PC workstation, you then execute the following from the CLI to upload the file to the switch and implement the ACL commands it contains:

ProCurve(config)# copy usb command-file vlan10_in.txt pc

The switch displays this message:

Running configuration may change, do you want to continue [y/n]?

To continue with the upload, press the [Y] key. To abort the upload, press the

[N]key. Note that if the switch detects an illegal (non-ACL) command in the file, it bypasses the illegal command, displays a notice (as in the tftp example shown in Figure A-12on page A-37),and continues to implement the remaining ACL commands in the file.

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

You can use the CLI to copy the following types of switch data to a text file in a destination device:

Command Output: Sends the output of a switch CLI command as a file on the destination device.

Event Log: Copies the switch’s Event Log into a file on the destination device.

Crash Data: software-specific data useful for determining the reason for a system crash.

Crash Log: Processor-Specific operating data useful for determining the reason for a system crash.

The destination device and copy method options are as follows (CLI key word is in bold):

Remote Host via TFTP.Physically connected USB flash drive via the switch’s USB port.Serially connected PC or UNIX workstation via Xmodem.
