Description
This command is used to upload either the Switch’s current settings or
the Switch’s history log to a TFTP server.
The output stream can be filtered by the expression specified at the
end of the command. The expression can contain up to three multiple
filter evaluations. A filter evaluation begins with a filter type (include,
exclude, and begin), followed by up to three filter strings (ex: “stp”). A
filter string is enclosed by the symbol “
The relationship of multiple filter strings following the same filter type is
OR. That is, one line is qualified if one of the specified filter strings is
matched.
If more than one filter evaluation is specified; the output is filtered by
the former evaluation and will be used as the input of the latter
evaluation.
