Downloading a Support File
The Download Support File menu option assembles all log files and switch
memory data into a core dump file (dump_support.tgz). This file can be sent to
technical support personnel for troubleshooting switch problems. The menu option
is not accessible (displayed) for switches that don't support the download support
file function.
To create a support file, do the following:
1. On the faceplate display, open the Switch menu, and select Download
Support File.
2. In the Download Support File dialog, click the Browse button to define a
location for the support file or type the path in the text field.
3. Click the Start button to begin the process of creating and downloading the
support file to your workstation. Observe the status in the Status area.
4. After the support file is saved to your workstation, click the Close button to
close the Download Support File dialog.
