Usage Guidelines

Note

Use this command only under the guidance of Extreme Networks Technical Support personnel to troubleshoot the switch.

Use this command to copy, upload debug information (for example, core, trace, show tech-support, configuration, and policy files) to the specified TFTP server.

Progress messages are displayed that indicate the file being copied and when the copying is finished. Depending on your platform, the switch displays a message similar to the following:

You can also use this command in conjunction with the show tech-support command. Prior to uploading debug information files, the switch prompts you with the following message to run the show tech command with the logto file option:

Enter y to run the show tech-support command before uploading debug information. If you enter y, the show_tech.log.tgz file is included during the upload. Enter n to upload debug information without running the show tech command.

After you upload the debug information, you should see a compressed TAR file, which contains the debug information.

The TAR file naming convention is:

<SysName>_<{<slot#>|A|B}I|C>_<Current Time>.tgz
- Current Time = mmddhhmm ( month(01-12), date(01-31), hour(0-24), minute(00-59) ).
