Chapter 50 Using Switch TopN Reports
Running and Viewing Switch TopN Reports
You can terminate a Switch TopN process invoked with the background keyword only by entering the
clear top [report_num] command. Pressing Ctrl-C does not terminate the process. The completed
reports remain available for viewing until you remove them by entering the clear top {all | report_num}
command.
Running and Viewing Switch TopN Reports
To start the Switch TopN Reports utility in the background and view the results, perform this task in
privileged mode:
Note You must run the Switch TopN Reports utility with the background keyword in order to use the show
top report command to view the completed report contents. Otherwise, the report is displayed
immediately upon completion of the process, and the results are not saved.
If you specify the report_num with the show top report command, the associated report is displayed.
Each process is associated with a unique report number.
If you do not specify the report_num variable, all active Switch TopN processes and all available Switch
TopN reports for the switch are displayed. All Switch TopN processes (both with and without the
background keyword) are shown in the list.
This example shows how to run the Switch TopN Reports utility with the background keyword:
