Maintenance Menu
NOTETo use the Maintenance Menu, you must be logged in to the switch as the administrator.
Dump information contains internal switch state data that is written to flash memory on the
GbE Switch Module after any one of the following occurs:
The switch administrator forces a switch panic. The panic option, found in the Mainte-
nance Menu, causes the switch to dump state information to flash memory, and then
causes the switch to reboot.
The watchdog timer forces a switch reset. The purpose of the watchdog timer is to reboot
the switch if the switch software freezes.
The switch detects a hardware or software problem that requires a reboot.
