Creating a Support File

If you contact technical support about a problem with your switch, they may request that you create and send a support file. This support file contains all of the switch configuration information which can be helpful in diagnosing the problem. The Create Support command creates the support file (dump_support.tgz) on the switch. If your workstation has an FTP server, you can proceed with the command prompts to send the file from the switch to a remote host. Otherwise, you can use FTP to download the support file from the switch to your workstation.

NOTE: Support files are deleted from the switch during a power cycle or switch reset.

The following example creates a support file and sends it to a remote host.

SANbox #> create support
