Dump information contains internal switch state data that is written to flash memory on the
GbE Switch Module after any one of the following occurs:
„ The switch administrator forces a switch panic. The panic option, found in the Mainte-
nance Menu, causes the switch to dump state information to flash memory, and then
causes the switch to reboot.

the switch if the switch software freezes.
„
The switch detects a hardware or software problem that requires a reboot.
