Brocade FC Switch Supportsave

A Brocade supportsave command saves a wealth of logs and information that can be useful when troubleshooting an issue.  It is also a recommended procedure to run a supportsave before upgrading the firmware on a switch, so that you have the necessary information to hand should there be an issue. Supportsave requires an FTP server to upload the logs to, if you don’t have an FTP server you can connect to the switch using Putty and choose to save the output to a file and then run a supportshow.

The following procedure shows how to collect logs from a Brocade switch via the CLI:

1 Connect to the switch via CLI

2 Enter supportsave and follow the prompts

3 Choose y when prompted to proceed

OK to proceed? (yes, y, no, n): [no] y

4 Enter the IP address of the FTP server

Host IP or Host Name: 10.10.10.5

5 Enter a username with access to the FTP server

User Name: anonymous

6 Select the protocol the FTP server uses

Protocol (ftp | scp | sftp): ftp

7 Select the directory on the FTP server to save the logs to. In this case the logs are being saved into a folder called switches

Remote Directory: /switches

8 When the operation finishes you will see a number of zip files in the location you specified
