Getting help To display help for a command, enter the help command followed by the command you are inquiring about. The following is an example of the help that is available for the config edit command. 8/20q FC Switch #> help config edit config edit [CONFIG_NAME] This command initiates a configuration session and places the current session into config edit mode. If CONFIG_NAME is given and it exists, it gets edited; otherwise, it gets created. If it is not given, the currently active configuration is edited. Admin mode is required for this command. Usage: config edit [CONFIG_NAME] Setting page breaks Some display commands deliver so much information to the screen that it scrolls by too quickly to read it. You can limit the display to 20 lines at a time by turning on page breaks. By default, page breaks are turned off.The following is an example of how to turn page breaks on and how it affects the display. 8/20q FC Switch #> set pagebreak on 8/20q FC Switch #> zone list Zone ---Zone1 ZoneSet ------- alpha beta Zone2 delta echo Zone3 sierra tango Zone4 gamma delta Press any key to continue, 'q' to quit ... Creating a support file If you contact technical support about a problem with your switch, they may request that you create and send a support file. This support file contains all of the switch configuration information, which can be helpful in diagnosing the problem. The create support command creates the support file (dump_support.tgz) on the switch. If your workstation has an File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server, you can proceed with the command prompts to send the file from the switch to a remote host. Otherwise, you can use FTP to download the support file from the switch to your workstation. NOTE: Support files are deleted from the switch during a power-cycle or switch reset. 8/20q Fibre Channel Switch command line interface guide 17
