User Guidelines
Crash dump retrieval via FTP, TFTP occurs after the system has crashed.
During this time, the switch is not available for normal operation.
If no DHCP server is available for assignment of addresses to switches, the
exception dump stack-ip-address protocol static add command should be
used once for each member of the stack. It is recommended that these
addresses be unique in the network. The stack master will distribute the
addresses to the stack members for use on the out-of-band port only during
crash dump transfer. In addition, for the purposes of transferring the core file
to the server, a unique MAC address is assigned to the stack unit.
As crash dump retrieval is not reliable on the front panel ports, this command
does not operate on the N1500/N2000 series switches. Use the USB crash
dump capability instead.
