Maintenance Menu

Introduction

The Maintenance Menu is used for debugging purposes, enabling you to generate a technical support dump of the critical state information in the GbE2 Interconnect Switch, and to clear entries in the Forwarding Database and the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) and routing tables. This menu is available only from an administrator and operator login.

Dump information contains internal GbE2 Interconnect Switch state data that is written to flash memory on the switch after any one of the following occurs:

The GbE2 Interconnect Switch administrator forces a switch panic. The panic option, found in the Maintenance Menu, causes the GbE2 Interconnect Switch to dump state information to flash memory, and then causes the switch to reboot.

The GbE2 Interconnect Switch administrator enters the switch reset key combination (Ctrl-Shift-6) on a device that is attached to the console port.

The GbE2 Interconnect Switch detects a hardware or software problem that requires a reboot.

The following table describes the Maintenance Menu options.
