Step 7 Enter the following command configure the switch to use TFTP to send the core dump to a TFTP server.
switch(config)# sys cores tftp:[//servername][/path]
This command causes the switch to enable the automatic copy of core files to a TFTP server. For
example, the following command sends the core files to the TFTP server with the IP address 10.1.1.1.
switch(config)# system cores tftp://10.1.1.1/cores
The following conditions apply:
• The core files are copied every 4 minutes. This time is not configurable.
• The copy of a specific core file can be manually triggered, using the command
copy core//module#/pid# tftp//tftp_ip_address/file_name
