Switch Administration

Saving Core Dumps

Enter the

set CoreDump

command to enable the core dump feature. For example,

SmartSwitch # set coredump

EnableCoreDump(n) : y

< “y” to enable core dump feature

ServerIP() : 204.95.77.240

< IP address of my TFTP server

CoreDumpFile() : /tftpboot/bobr/core

< full path name for core dump files

userName() : bobr

< login name on the server

UserPassword() :

< password

SmartSwitch #

Note

The

set CoreDump

command uses FTP to create the

core_cpu

and

core_cmn

files. If your server does not run FTP, create these files manually. Then execute the

set CoreDump

command.

Note

On UNIX systems, make sure that the permissions are set correctly so that data
can be written.

Note

For security, the

set CoreDump

command retains your password only long enough

to create the core dump files. Your password is then dropped from system
memory.

To see the current core dump configuration, enter the

show coredump

command.

SmartSwitch # show coredump

Core Dump Enabled : Yes

Core Dump Server IP : 204.95.77.240

Core Dump File : /tftpboot/bobr/core
