Introduction

The Maintenance Menu is used for debugging purposes, enabling you to generate a
technical support dump of the critical state information in the GbE2 Interconnect Switch, and
to clear entries in the Forwarding Database and the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) and
routing tables. This menu is available only from an administrator and operator login.

Command: /maint
[Maintenance Menu]
To use the Maintenance Menu, you must be logged in to the GbE2 Interconnect Switch as
the administrator.
Dump information contains internal GbE2 Interconnect Switch state data that is written to
flash memory on the switch after any one of the following occurs:
•
The GbE2 Interconnect Switch administrator forces a switch panic. The panic option,
found in the Maintenance Menu, causes the GbE2 Interconnect Switch to dump state
information to flash memory, and then causes the switch to reboot.
•
The GbE2 Interconnect Switch administrator enters the switch reset key combination
(Ctrl-\) on a device that is attached to the console port.
•
The watchdog timer forces a GbE2 Interconnect Switch reset. The purpose of the
watchdog timer is to reboot the GbE2 Interconnect Switch if the switch software freezes.
•
The GbE2 Interconnect Switch detects a hardware or software problem that requires a
reboot.
