HOW TO GATHER A COPY SUPPORT

  1. Log in to the switch.
     

  2. In privileged EXEC mode, enter the 'copy support' command to capture the supportSave data.
     

    The copy support command has options to copy the supportSave files to a remote server using

    FTP or SCP, or you can save to a local USB device. You can use the command in a single

    command line, or in interactive mode.

    The following example uses the single command line mode to copy the supportSave files to a

    remote host using FTP.

    switch# copy support ftp host 10.38.33.131 user admin directory 108

    Password: *****

    The following example uses the interactive form of the command and FTP:

    switch# copy support-interactive

    Server Name or IP Address: 10.38.33.131

    Protocol (ftp, scp): ftp

    User: admin

    Password: *****

    Directory:/home/admin/support
