OmniSwitch 6600 Family Switch Management Guide

You can generate a list of configurations currently running on the switch by using the 

 command. A snapshot is a text file that lists commands issued to the switch during the current 

login session. 

Note. A user must have read and write permission for the configuration family of commands to generate a 
snapshot file for those commands. See the “Switch Security” chapter of this manual for further informa-
tion on permissions to specific command families.

You can specify the snapshot file so it will capture the CLI commands for one or more switch features or 
for all network features. To generate a snapshot file for all network features, use the following syntax.

-> configuration snapshot all

To generate a snapshot file for specific features, select the appropriate syntax from the following list.

You may enter more than one network feature in the command line. Separate each feature with a space 
(and no comma). The following command will generate a snapshot file listing current configurations for 
the vlan, qos, and snmp command families.

-> configuration snapshot vlan qos snmp

You can verify that a new snapshot file is created by using the 

 command to list all files in the /flash 

directory.
