Default Configuration
Full core dumps are not 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 server must be reachable over the out-of-band interface. Front
panel ports cannot be used for TFTP 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.
Example
This example enables core dumps to a TFTP server 10.27.9.1 reachable over
the out-of-band port. The core file is written to the “dumps” directory and
the name includes the host name of the switch and the switch TOD.
console(config)#exception dump tftp-server 10.27.9.1 file-path dumps
console(config)#exception core-file Core hostname time-stamp
console(config)#exception protocol tftp
exception protocol
Use the exception protocol command as directed by Dell Networking support
to enable full core dumps. Use the no form of the command to disable full
core dumps.
Syntax
exception protocol {tftp | usb | none}
no exception protocol
• tftp — Store the core dump on a TFTP server reachable on the out-of-
band port
