You can perform the following activities to manage and maintain the
system and individual Nortel SNAS devices:
•maintenance, in order to collect information for troubleshooting and
technical support purposes (see “Performing maintenance” (page
353)):
—Dump log file or system internal status information and send it to a
file exchange server.
—Check connectivity between the Nortel SNAS and all configured
gateways, routers, and servers.
—Start and stop tracing to log information about a client session. You
can limit the trace to specific features, such as SSL handshake;
authentication method, user name, group, and profile; DNS
lookups; and the Nortel Health Agent check.
You can use the trace feature as a debugging tool (for example,
to find out why authentication fails). For sample CLI outputs, see
“Trace tools” (page 409).
•configuration backup and restore (see “Backing up or restoring the
configuration” (page 356))
•software and device management (see “Managing Nortel SNAS
devices” (page 361) and “Managing software for a Nortel SNAS device”
(page 363)):
