Debug messages
In addition to generating a core file, the switch also sends debug messages to the serial console during a
system crash. To capture the messages, attach a PC to the port (if one is not already attached) and use the
terminal emulation application on the PC to capture a log of the messages. (For information about connecting
to the serial console port, see the
system crash. To capture the messages, attach a PC to the port (if one is not already attached) and use the
terminal emulation application on the PC to capture a log of the messages. (For information about connecting
to the serial console port, see the
