Usage Information
You must use this command to enable core dump logging before a software exception occurs. If the
FTP server is unreachable, FTOS aborts the application core dump.
When you enable this command to allow the system to automatically upload application core dumps to
an FTP server, you will be requested to enter a username and password. Use the username and
password of the FTP server where the core files are being moved. The password can be up to 15
alphanumeric characters only; no special characters are allowed. After the password is entered, an FTP
URL is created with the credentials in the operating system. The CLI monitors application core dumps
in the unit. Any application core dumps that occur will be automatically uploaded to the FTP server.
Since flash space may be limited, using this command ensures your entire crash kernel files are
uploaded successfully and completely. Only a single coredump server can be configured.
Configuration of a new coredump server will over-write any previously configured server.
