The Show Tech-Support Command; Core Files - D-Link DWS-1008 - AirPremier MobileLAN Switch Product Manual

The show tech-support Command

The show tech-support command combines a group of show commands to provide an in-depth snapshot
of the status of the switch. The output displays details about the system image and configuration used
after the last reboot, the version, ports, AAA settings, and other configuration values, and the last 100
log messages.
To save the output in a file to send to TAC, use the following syntax:
show tech-support [file [subdirname/]filename]
The following command saves the output in a file named fortechsupport and copies the file to a TFTP
server.
DWS-1008# show tech-support file fortechsupport
success: results saved to fortechsupport.gz
DWS-1008# copy fortechsupport.gz tftp://192.168.0.233/fortechsupport.gz
success: sent 8259 bytes in 0.246 seconds [ 33573 bytes/sec]
success: copy complete.
If a DWS-1008 switch restarts due to an error condition (crashes), the switch generates a core file in the
temporary file area. The name of the file indicates the system area where the problem occurred. Core
files are saved in tarball (tar) format.
Core files are erased when you restart the switch. You must copy the files to a TFTP server or to the
nonvolatile part of file storage before restarting the switch. To copy core files, use the dir command to
list them, then use the copy command to copy them. The following example shows how to list the files
and copy them to a TFTP server.
