Usage Guidelines To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper
task IDs.
Use the exception filepath command to modify core dump settings, such as the destination file path to
store core dump files, file compression, and the filename appended to core dumps.
Up to three user-defined locations may be configured as the preferred destinations for core dump files:
•
•
•
When specifying a destination for a core dump file, you can specify an absolute file path on a local file
system or on a network server. The following network protocols are supported: TFTP and FTP.
We recommend that you specify a location on the hard disk as the primary location.
Note
In addition to the three preferred destinations that can be configured, Cisco IOS XR software provides
three default fallback destinations for core dump files in the event that user-defined locations are
unavailable.
The default fallback destinations are:
•
•
•
If a default destination is a boot device, the core dump file is not sent to that destination.
Note
We recommend that you configure at least one preferred destination for core dump files as a preventive
measure if the default fallback paths are unavailable. Configuring at least one preferred destination also
ensures that core dump files are archived because the default fallback destinations store only the first and
last core dump files for a crashed process.

Modification
This command was introduced on the Cisco ASR 14000 Series Router.
Primary location—The primary destination for core dump files. Enter the choice keyword and a
value of 1 (that is, choice 1) for the preference argument to specify a destination as the primary
location for core dump files.
Secondary location—The secondary fallback choice for the destination for core dump files, if the
primary location is unavailable (for example, if the hard disk is set as the primary location and the
hard disk fails). Enter the choice keyword and a value of 2 (that is, choice 2) for the preference
argument to specify a destination as the secondary location for core dump files.
Tertiary location—The tertiary fallback choice as the destination for core dump files, if the primary
and secondary locations fail. Enter the choice keyword and a value of 3 (that is, choice 3) for the
preference argument to specify a destination as the tertiary location for core dump files.
