To specify the data displayed by the show tech command, use the copy show

tech command.

Saving show tech command output to a text file

When you enter the show tech command, a summary of switch operational data is sent to your

terminal emulator. You can use your terminal emulator's text capture features to save the show

tech data to a text file for viewing, printing, or sending to an associate to diagnose a problem.

For example, if your terminal emulator is the Hyperterminal application available with Microsoft®

Windows® software, you can copy the show tech output to a file and then use either Microsoft

Word or Notepad to display the data. (In this case, Microsoft Word provides the data in an

easier-to-read format.)

The following example uses the Microsoft Windows terminal emulator. If you are using a different

terminal emulator application, see the documentation provided with the application.

1. In Hyperterminal, click on TransferCapture Text…

2. In the File field, enter the path and file name in which you want to store the show tech

output, as shown in Figure 231 (page 435).
