Troubleshooting
Viewing Switch Configuration and Operation
To specify the data displayed by the show tech command, use the copy show
tech command as described in “Customizing show tech Command Output” on
page C-71.
Saving show tech Command Output to a Text File
When you enter the show tech command, a summary of switch operational
data is sent to your terminal emulator. You can use your terminal emulator’s
text capture features to save the
show tech data to a text file for viewing,
printing, or sending to an associate to diagnose a problem.
For example, if your terminal emulator is the Hyperterminal application
available with Microsoft® Windows® software, you can copy the
show tech
output to a file and then use either Microsoft Word or Notepad to display the
data. (In this case, Microsoft Word provides the data in an easier-to-read
format.)
The following example uses the Microsoft Windows terminal emulator. If you
are using a different terminal emulator application, refer to the documentation
provided with the application.
To save show tech command output from your terminal emulator to a text file,
follow these steps:
1. In Hyperterminal, click on Transfer | Capture Text...
Figure C-26. Capture Text window of the Hyperterminal Application
2. In the File field, enter the path and file name in which you want to store
the show tech output.
