Enabling and Copying Core Dumps, Saving the Running-Config to the Startup-Config File

Page 37 highlights

Chapter 1 Managing the CSS Software CSS Software Overview From an FTP server, you can view the following directories on the hard disk or Flash disk: • The log directory contains the following log files: - boot.log - ASCII log of the boot process - boot.bak - Backup of the previous boot log - sys.log - ASCII log of system events (logging to disk is enabled by default to subsystem all and level info) - sys.log.prev - Backup of the previous system log file (if any) • The scripts directory contains default, profile, and sample scripts. • The core directory contains any core dumps created by the CSS. For information on copying core dumps to an FTP or TFTP server, see the "Enabling and Copying Core Dumps" section. • The MIB directory contains MIB files that you can load in to SNTP-compliant network management software applications. Caution When you view the CSS software directories installed on a network drive, more directories are listed than those you can view on the hard disk or Flash disk. The additional directories are reserved for internal use. Do not manipulate the files in these directories. The software directory also contains the startup-config file. The startup-config is an ASCII file containing commands that the CSS executes at startup. This file is created when you: • Finish using the Configuration Script (refer to the Cisco Content Services Switch Getting Started Guide). • Use the copy running-config startup-config or write memory command (see the "Saving the Running-Config to the Startup-Config File" section). Both commands save configuration changes to the startup-config file during a CSS session. The write memory command also archives the startup configuration file to the archive directory on the CSS (similar to the archive startup-config command, see the "Archiving Files to the Archive Directory" section). • Use FTP to copy a startup-config file to the CSS.

Chapter 1
Managing the CSS Software
CSS Software Overview
From an FTP server, you can view the following directories on the hard disk or
Flash disk:
The log directory contains the following log files:
boot.log
- ASCII log of the boot process
boot.bak
- Backup of the previous boot log
sys.log
- ASCII log of system events (logging to disk is enabled by
default to
subsystem all
and
level info
)
sys.log.prev
- Backup of the previous system log file (if any)
The scripts directory contains default, profile, and sample scripts.
The core directory contains any core dumps created by the CSS. For
information on copying core dumps to an FTP or TFTP server, see the
“Enabling and Copying Core Dumps”
section.
The MIB directory contains MIB files that you can load in to
SNTP-compliant network management software applications.
Caution
When you view the CSS software directories installed on a network drive, more
directories are listed than those you can view on the hard disk or Flash disk. The
additional directories are reserved for internal use. Do not manipulate the files in
these directories.
The software directory also contains the startup-config file. The startup-config is
an ASCII file containing commands that the CSS executes at startup. This file is
created when you:
Finish using the Configuration Script (refer to the
Cisco Content Services
Switch Getting Started Guide
).
Use the
copy running-config startup-config
or
write memory
command
(see the
“Saving the Running-Config to the Startup-Config File”
section).
Both commands save configuration changes to the startup-config file during
a CSS session. The
write memory
command also archives the startup
configuration file to the archive directory on the CSS (similar to the
archive
startup-config
command, see the
“Archiving Files to the Archive Directory”
section).
Use FTP to copy a startup-config file to the CSS.
