www.dell.com | support.dell.com Auto Save on Crash or Rollover Exception information on for master or standby units is stored in the flash:/TRACE_LOG_DIR directory. This directory contains files that save trace information when there has been a task crash or timeout. On a master unit, the TRACE_LOG_DIR files can be reached by FTP or by using the show file command from the flash://TRACE_LOG_DIR directory. On a Standby unit, the TRACE_LOG_DIR files can be reached only by using the show file command from the flash://TRACE_LOG_DIR directory. Note: Non-management member units do not support this functionality. Hardware watchdog timer The hardware watchdog command automatically reboots an FTOS switch/router when a unit is unresponsive. This is a last resort mechanism intended to prevent a manual power cycle. Command hardware watchdog Description Enable the hardware watchdog mechanism. Buffer tuning Buffer Tuning allows you to modify the way your switch allocates buffers from its available memory, and helps prevent packet drops during a temporary burst of traffic. The S-Series ASICs implement the key functions of queuing, feature lookups, and forwarding lookups in hardware. • Forwarding Processor (FP) ASICs provide Ethernet MAC functions, queueing and buffering, as well as store feature and forwarding tables for hardware-based lookup and forwarding decisions. 1G and 10G interfaces use different FPs. Table 62-1 describes the type and number of ASICs per platform. Table 62-1. ASICS by Platform Hardware FP S50N, S50V 2 S25V, S25P, S25N 1 CSF 0 0 You can tune buffers at three locations, as shown in Figure 62-6. 1226 | S-Series Debugging and Diagnostics
