Collecting Information About a Brocade Switch

To collect the information about a Brocade switch, you must use an FTP server. Before performing operations, determine the IP address, user name, and password of the FTP server.

1. Check the IP address of the Brocade switch and choose a host located on the same network segment. Enable the FTP function and prepare the directory to save the switch logs on the FTP server.
2. Use the SSH to log in to the switch.
3. Run the supportsave command.

   swd77:admin>supportsave 
   This command collects RASLOG,TRACE,supportShow,core file,FFDC data 
   and other support information from both active and standby CPs and then transfer 
   them to FTP/SCP server 
   or a USB device.This operation can take several minutes. 
   NOTE:supportSave will transfer existing trace dump file first,the 
   automatically generate and transfer latest

4. Enter Y. The system informs you of entering the following information:
   1. Host IP or Host Name: IP address of the FTP server
   2. User Name: user name of the FTP server
   3. Password: password of the FTP server
   4. Protocol (ftp or scp): used transfer protocol
   5. Remote Directory: directory that is prepared on the FTP server

5. The system starts to collect the switch information. The information is as follows:
