NETGEAR 8800 Chassis Switch CLI Manual memorycard off Specifies that saving debug information to the external memory card is enabled. Use this parameter only under the guidance of NETGEAR Technical Support personnel. Note: This parameter is available only on the NETGEAR 8800. Specifies that saving debug information to the memory card is disabled. Default By default, configure debug core-dumps internal-memory is enabled. Usage Guidelines Note: Use this command only under the guidance of NETGEAR Technical Support personnel to troubleshoot the switch. The switch sends debug information to the preinstalled internal memory card. On the 8800 switch, you can also send debug information to the external memory card installed in the external compact flash slot of the MSM/MM. The switch only generates core dump files and writes them to the specified memory card in the following situations: • If a NETGEAR 8800 process fails. • When forced under the guidance of NETGEAR Technical Support. If you configure the switch to write core dump files to the internal memory and attempt to download a new software image, you might have insufficient space to complete the image download. If this occurs, move or delete the core dump files from the internal memory. For example, if you have an 8800 with an external memory card installed with space available, transfer the files to the external memory card. Transfer the files from the internal memory card to a TFTP server. This frees up space on the internal memory card while keeping the core dump files. Before you can enable and save debug information to the external memory card, you must install an external compact flash memory card into the external compact flash slot of the MSM/MM. For more information about installing an external compact flash memory card, refer to the hardware documentation. After you use the eject memorycard command and manually remove the card from the external compact flash slot of the MSM/MM, this setting is automatically changed to off. Example The following example enables an 8800 switch to save debug information to the external memory card: 1346 | Appendix B. Troubleshooting Commands
