tech command as described in “Customizing show tech Command Output” on
page C-71.

Saving show tech Command Output to a Text File

When you enter the

show tech command, a summary of switch operational

data is sent to your terminal emulator. You can use your terminal emulator’s
text capture features to save the

show tech data to a text file for viewing,

printing, or sending to an associate to diagnose a problem.

For example, if your terminal emulator is the Hyperterminal application
available with Microsoft® Windows® software, you can copy the

show tech

output to a file and then use either Microsoft Word or Notepad to display the
data. (In this case, Microsoft Word provides the data in an easier-to-read
format.)

The following example uses the Microsoft Windows terminal emulator. If you
are using a different terminal emulator application, refer to the documentation
provided with the application.

To save

show tech command output from your terminal emulator to a text file,

follow these steps:

1. In Hyperterminal, click on

Transfer | Capture Text...

2. In the

File

field, enter the path and file name in which you want to store

the

show tech output.
