unique-naming
Suppresses the automatic unique naming of dump files. After entering this
command, use the Boot CONFIG list all command to verify the unique
naming settings. Unique naming is suppressed until you enter the enable
unique-naming command. Disable unique-naming is the default setting.
Enable
Use the enable command to enable memory dumping and the unique naming of
dump files. This command must be used to turn on the dump operation using the
data supplied with the add dump-entry command. Dumping should only be
enabled if the device is experiencing problems of unknown origin. Dump files can
be very large and consume large amounts of disk space. It takes considerable time
to transfer the large dump file through the internet to the dump host.
Syntax:
enable dumping
unique-naming

(hexadecimal) from 1 to 5 characters will be added to the configured dump
filename when the dump occurs.
After entering this command, use the Boot CONFIG list all command to
verify the unique naming settings. Dump files include unique names until
you enter the disable unique-naming command.
Erase
Use the erase command to erase a stored image or an IBD bank.
Syntax:
erase [
loadname
or

bank-number

]
loadname OR bank-number
Erases a stored image or an IBD bank. Enter the loadname or the bank
number (1 through 64) that contains the load after the erase command. To
verify the erase, use the list ibd command. If an erase does not succeed
after 10 tries, the device marks the bank as faulty.

IBD size: 4 MB
Bank size: 64 KB
Starting bank number: 1
Ending bank number: 64
