SYNOPSIS tracedump [-S]
tracedump -n [-s slot]

tracedump -c [-s slot]
DESCRIPTION Use this command to initiate a background trace dump, to remove the content of a trace dump, or to
display the dump status on the switch.
When executed without operands, this command defaults to traceDump -S.
Execution of traceDump -n generates a local trace dump locally. Use supportSave to transfer the local
trace dump to a remote host. When supportSave is used, the default remote file name format for the
trace dump file is as follows:
chassisname-S#xxs-YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.type_[new | old].dmp.gz
S#
Indicates the slot number (0 on standalone platforms)
xxs
Indicates the processor. Values are cp0, cp1, bp0, bp1, dp0, or dp1.
YYYYMMDDHHMMSS
Indicates the trace dump time stamp (year-month-day-hour-minute-second).
type
Indicates the tracedump type. Valid types include BTRACE, DTRACE, and
CTRACE.
new | old
Indicates a new or an old trace dump file.
dmp.gz
The compressed trace dump archive file extension.
For example, the filename for a a new BFOS tracedump received from slot 10 on chassisABC would be
chassisABC-S10bp-201103031111.BTRACE_NEW.dmp.gz.
