Technical support dump
Command: /maint/tsdmp
Use this command to dump all switch information, statistics, and configuration.
If you want to capture dump information to a file, set your communication software on your workstation to capture
session data prior to issuing the tsdmp command.
FTP/TFTP technical support dump put
Command: /maint/pttsdmp
Use this command to put (save) the technical support dump to a FTP/TFTP server.
Uuencode flash dump
Command: /maint/uudmp
Using this command, dump information is presented in uuencoded format. This format makes it easy to capture the
dump information as a file or a string of characters.
If you want to capture dump information to a file, set your communication software on your workstation to capture
session data prior to issuing the uudmp command. This will ensure that you do not lose any information. Once
entered, the uudmp command will cause approximately 23,300 lines of data to be displayed on your screen and
copied into the file.
Using the uudmp command, dump information can be read multiple times. The command does not cause the
information to be updated or cleared from flash memory.
Dump information is not cleared automatically. In order for any subsequent dump information to be written to flash
memory, you must manually clear the dump region. For more information on clearing the dump region, see the
―Clearing dump information‖ section later in this chapter.
To access dump information, at the Maintenance# prompt, enter:
Maintenance# uudmp
The dump information is displayed on your screen and, if you have configured your communication software to do
so, captured to a file. If the dump region is empty, the following displays:
No FLASH dump available.
FTP/TFTP system dump put
Command: /maint/ptdmp <server> <filename>
Use this command to put (save) the system dump to a FTP/TFTP server.
NOTE: If the FTP/TFTP server is running SunOS or the Solaris operating system, the specified ptdmp file
must exist prior to executing the ptdmp command, and must be writable (set with proper permission, and not
locked by any application). The contents of the specified file will be replaced with the current dump data.
To save dump information via FTP/TFTP, at the Maintenance# prompt, enter:
Maintenance# ptdmp <server> <filename>
Type the FTP/TFTP server IP address or hostname as <server>, and the target dump file as <filename>.
Enter the user name, if you are using a FTP server:
Enter username for FTP server or hit return for TFTP server: <userID>
Enter the password for the FTP server (if prompted):
Enter password for username on FTP server: <password>
