File Transfers

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

Copying Event Log Output to a Destination Device

Syntax: copy event-log tftp < ip-address > < filepath_filename > [oobm] copy event-log usb < filename >

copy event-log xmodem <filename>

These commands copy the Event Log content to a remote host, attached USB device, or to a serially connected PC or UNIX workstation.

For switches that have a separate out-of-band management port, the oobm parameter specifies that the transfer will be through the out-of-band management interface. If this parameter is not specified, the transfer will be through the data interface. The oobm parameter is not available on switches that do not have a separate out-of-band management port. Refer to Appendix I, “Network Out-of-Band Management” in this guide for more information on out-of-band management.

For example, to copy the event log to a PC connected to the switch:

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

Figure A-14. Example of Sending Event Log Content to a File on an Attached PCCopying Crash Data Content to a Destination Device

This command uses TFTP, USB, or Xmodem to copy the Crash Data content to a destination device. You can copy individual slot information or the management module’s switch information. If you do not specify either, the command defaults to the management function’s data.
