Debugging
The Miscellaneous Debug menu displays trace buffer information about events that can be helpful
in understanding switch operation. You can view the following information using the debug menu:
 Events traced by the Management Processor (MP)
 Events traced to a buffer area when a reset occurs
If the switch resets for any reason, the MP trace buffer is saved into the snap trace buffer area. The
output from these commands can be interpreted by Technical Support personnel.
