Usage Guidelines

This command instructs the switch to generate a report and upload it to a collector. The default operation is to perform this operation immediately for all existing collectors. Optionally, you can configure a one-time trigger to perform the operation in "hours from now." The valid range is one to 168 hours (one week). If ou specify the hostname or IP address, the switch runs a report for that particular collector.

Only a single one-time report per collector can be scheduled at any time. When run tech-support report in hours is issued before the previous scheduled one-time report completes, the previous report is cancelled, and a new one-time report is scheduled.

This command also provides a way to cancel a scheduled report for a particular collector.
