Saving Debug Information to the Memory Card

You can save switch data and statistics to either an external memory card installed in the external
compact flash slot of an MSM (modular switches only) or the internal memory card that comes
preinstalled in the Summit X450 switch. With assistance from Extreme Networks Technical Support
personnel, you can configure the switch to capture troubleshooting information, such as a core dump
file, to the specified memory card.
The switch only generates core dump files in the following situations:
If an ExtremeWare XOS process fails.
●
When forced under the guidance of Extreme Networks Technical Support.
●
The core dump file contains a snapshot of the process when the error occurred.
NOTE
Use the commands described in this section only under the guidance of Extreme Networks Technical Support
personnel to troubleshoot the switch.
This section describes the following topics:

Modular Switches Only—Before you can enable and save process core dump information to the external
memory card, you must install an external memory card into the external compact flash slot of the
MSM. For more information about installing an external compact flash memory card, please refer to the
Extreme Networks Consolidated XOS Hardware Installation Guide.
Enabling the Switch to Send Debug Information
To enable the switch to save process core dump information to the specified memory card, use the
following command:
configure debug coredumps [internal-memory | memorycard | off]
Where the following is true:
●
internal-memory
Use this parameter only under the guidance of Extreme Networks Technical Support personnel.
(This parameter is available only on the Summit X450 switch.)
●
memorycard
this parameter only under the guidance of Extreme Networks Technical Support personnel. (This
parameter is available only on modular switches.)
