• protocol dhcp-Obtain the out-of-band port address via DHCP for core dump transfer. • protocol static-Use a statically assigned address for core dump transfer Default Configuration Debug core dumps are disabled by default. The out-of-band port attempts to retrieve an IP address via DHCP by default. No TFTP or FTP server is defined. No stack IP addresses are assigned Compression is enabled by default Command Modes Global Configuration mode User Guidelines This option should only be used under the direction of Dell support personnel. The file-path parameter is used by both the USB and TFTP core dumps. The TFTP or FTP server must be reachable over the out-of-band interface. Front panel ports cannot be used during exception processing. Configuration parameters are not validated when the command is entered. Use the write core test command to validate the configured parameters and that the core dump is likely to succeed. Crash dump retrieval via FTP or TFTP occurs after the system has crashed. During this time, the switch is not available for normal operation. If no DHCP server is available for assignment of addresses to switches, the exception dump stack-ip-address protocol static add command should be used once for each member of the stack. It is recommended that these addresses be unique in the network. The management unit in the stack will distribute the addresses to the stack members for use on the out-of-band port only during crash dump transfer. In addition, for the purposes of transferring the core file to the server, a unique MAC address is assigned to the stack unit. Switch Management Commands 2261
