Verifying the TFTP
Process
To create a memory dump file, follow these steps:
1 On a UNIX TFTP server, create a file with the name dmXXXXXX.dmp,
where XXXXXX is the last six characters of the MAC address of the
Ethernet port (port 1) of the SuperStack II bridge/router.
For example, if the last six characters of the MAC address of the
bridge/router are 06BA6A, enter:
touch dm06BA6A.dmp
2 Ensure that all users have permission to write to the target directory and
filename. To determine this on a UNIX system, enter:
ls -a
3 To change write access permissions on a file or directory, enter:
chmod 666 dm06BA6A.dmp
See the UNIX system documentation if you have any problems.
To verify that a TFTP transfer can occur from the SuperStack II
bridge/router to the TFTP server, follow these steps:
1 Obtain a listing of the files on the SuperStack II bridge/router to select
one to transfer using:
df <directory>
2 If you are using a UNIX TFTP server, create a zero byte file with the name
of the file you selected, and with the proper permissions, using:
touch <filename>
chmod 666 <filename>
3 Transfer the selected file from the bridge/router to the TFTP server using:
COpy [<device>:]<src_filename> [<device>:][<dest_filename>]
For example, to copy a source file named system to destination /dump/
using the TFTP server at IP address 139.88.132.192, enter:
COpy a:/primary/system 139.88.132.192:/dump/system
4 Verify that the file was transferred to the correct location on the TFTP
server.
