Copying diagnostic data to a remote host, PC or UNIX workstation
You can use the CLI to copy the following types of switch data to a text file in a destination device:
Command output
|
Sends the output of a switch CLI command as a file on the destination device.
|
Event log
|
Copies the switch's Event Log into a file on the destination device.
|
Crash data
|
Software-specific data useful for determining the reason for a system crash.
|
Crash log
|
Processor-specific operating data useful for determining the reason for a system crash.
|
Flight data recorder (FDR) logs
|
Information that is “interesting” at the time of the crash, as well as when the switch is not performing correctly but has not crashed.
|
The destination device and copy method options are as follows (CLI keyword is in bold):
Copying command output to a destination device (CLI)
Syntax:
copy command-output <"cli-command
"> tftp <ip-address
> <filepath-filename
>
copy command-output <"cli-command
"> xmodem
These commands direct the displayed output of a CLI command to a remote host, or to a serially connected PC or UNIX workstation.
Example:
To use Xmodem to copy the output of show config
to a serially connected PC:

Copying Event Log output to a destination device (CLI)
Syntax:
copy event-log
<tftp | sftp | xmodem>
copy event-log tftp <ip-address
> <filepath_filename
>
copy event-log xmodem <filename
>
These commands copy the Event Log content to a remote host, or to a serially connected PC or UNIX workstation.
Example:
To copy the event log to a PC connected to the switch:
Copying crash data content to a destination device (CLI)
This command uses TFTP or Xmodem to copy the Crash Data content to a destination device.
Syntax:
copy crash-data tftp <ip-address
> <filename
>
These commands copy the crash data content to a remote host or to a serially connected PC or UNIX workstation.
To copy the switch's crash data to a file in a PC:
Copying switch crash data content to a PC
Switch(config)# copy crash-data xmodem pc
Press 'Enter' and start XMODEM on your host...
