Note: Dump information contains internal Alteon state data that is written to flash memory after Alteon detects a hardware or software problem (a crash) that requires a reboot.
When a dump activates, if no dump file exists, then one is created.
If a dump file already exists, then it is renamed to become a backup dump, and the new dump information is saved in a new dump file.
If both a dump file and a backup dump file already exist, then the backup file is deleted, the existing dump is renamed as a backup, and the dump is written to a new file.

cachcont
 
Exports the cache content to an FTP, TFTP, or SCP server that you specify. This command only appears in the vADC Administrator environment in ADC-VX mode. For details, see /maint/cachcont Cache Content List.
techdata
 
Downloads all Radware Technical Support data via FTP, TFTP, or SCP.
You will be prompted to enter the hostname or IP address of the FTP, TFTP, or SCP server, the name of .tar file on FTP/TFTP/SCP server, and the username for FTP/SCP server.
You will also be asked if to include private keys.
Note: In ADC-VX mode, downloads data for the ADC-VX environment and all its vADCs.
The following information is included in the techdata files:
*Configuration files (for Global Administrator and vADC Administrator)
*TS dump file — A text file containing statistical, configuration, and debugging information (for Global Administrator and vADC Administrator)
*Panic dump files (for Global Administrator and vADC Administrator)
*Log files (for Global Administrator and vADC Administrator)
*Acceleration engine log files (for vADC Administrator)
*Syslog files (for Global Administrator and vADC Administrator)
*Console input and output  —  The console_log file (in the disk/Alteon/logs folder) contains all commands and data entered or shown on the console. When the console_log file is full (max. file size 1.5G) the contents are moved to a console_log_b file and clears the console_log file for continued logging.
If the techdata archive file (dumps.tar.gz) is larger than 1G, Alteon denies the techdata upload. If this happens, you should clear the log files using the maint/applog/clearlog command and then retry uploading the techdata.
Passwords in the techdata file are encrypted.
tedalog
 
Downloads the Tech Data log files via FTP, TFTP, or SCP.
The Tech Data log file is a zipped archive that includes, in addition to the standard tech data files (using the techdata command), other log files (for example, core dump files) to help R&D with debugging.
