Collect Maintenance Data
When the switch operational firmware detects a critical error, the
switch automatically copies the contents of dynamic random access
memory (DRAM) to a dump area in FLASH memory on the CTP
card. The operator then transfers (through the Ethernet connection)
the captured dump file from FLASH memory to the web browser PC
hard drive.
Perform the maintenance data collection procedure after a firmware
fault is corrected or a failed FRU is replaced to capture the data for
analysis by support personnel. Maintenance data includes the dump
file and an engineering log viewable only by support personnel.
