about. The following is an example of the help that is available for the

This command initiates a configuration session and places the current session
into config edit mode.
If CONFIG_NAME is given and it exists, it gets edited; otherwise, it gets
created. If it is not given, the currently active configuration is edited.
Admin mode is required for this command.
Usage: config edit [CONFIG_NAME]
Setting page breaks
Some display commands deliver so much information to the screen that it scrolls by too quickly to read it.
You can limit the display to 20 lines at a time by turning on page breaks. By default, page breaks are
turned off.The following is an example of how to turn page breaks on and how it affects the display.

Creating a support file
If you contact technical support about a problem with your switch, they may request that you create and
send a support file. This support file contains all of the switch configuration information, which can be
helpful in diagnosing the problem. The
create support
command creates the support file
(
dump_support.tgz
) on the switch. If your workstation has an File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server, you can
proceed with the command prompts to send the file from the switch to a remote host. Otherwise, you can
use FTP to download the support file from the switch to your workstation.
NOTE:
Support files are deleted from the switch during a power-cycle or switch reset.
