Using the supportSave command

The supportSave command uses the default switch name to replace the chassis name regardless of whether the chassis name has been changed to a non-factory setting. If Virtual Fabrics is enabled, the supportSave command uses the default switch name for each logical fabric.

1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account with admin permissions.
2. Enter the appropriate supportSave command based on your needs:
   • If you are saving to an FTP or SCP server, use the following command:

     supportSave [-n] [-c] 

     When invoked without operands, this command goes into interactive mode. The following operands are optional:
     -n —Does not prompt for confirmation. This operand is optional; if omitted, you are prompted for confirmation.
     -c —Uses the FTP parameters saved by the supportFtp command. This operand is optional; if omitted, specify the FTP parameters through command line options or interactively. To display the current FTP parameters, run supportFtp (on a dual-CP system, run supportFtp on the active CP).
   • On platforms that support USB devices, you can use your Brocade USB device to save the support files. To use your USB device, use the following command:

     supportsave [-U -d remote_dir]

     -U —Saves support data to an attached USB device. When using this option, a target directory must be specified with the -d option.
     -d remote_dir —Specifies the remote directory to which the file is to be transferred. When saving to a USB device, the remote directory is created in the /support directory of the USB device by default.
