Commands included in Show tech-support

Show tech-support is one of the common command that we use in Cisco switches to collect almost all information about the switch.It is very useful for
troubleshooting purpose.The output of this command can be provided to technical support representatives when reporting a problem.
To Collect Information from Cisco Switch Use the below mentioned commands
# term len 0
# show tech-support details
Show tech-support will provide a combined output of several other show commands output.
The default output of the show tech-support command includes the output of the following commands:

show version

show environment

show module

show hardware

show running-config

show interface

show accounting log

This will Assign a bbcredits to a switch port

and saves the configuration

This will Set ip address for the management

interface,set default gateway and save the
