Any one can explain the two lines when using show command in Nexus7000?

Hi Anyone can take a look at the below two lines highlighted bold. What is that meaning? Thank you

Nexus7K1# sh ip bgp neighbors ?
<CR>
> Redirect it to a file
>> Redirect it to a file in append mode
A.B.C.D Display one particular BGP neighbor
A.B.C.D/LEN Display details for a prefix peering

Some outputs are very long. To better manage them you can redirect the output to a file (for example, show tech-support > filename ) in the local writable storage file system or the remote file system.

You can use one of the following redirection methods:

> filename —Redirects the output to a file.
>> filename —Redirects the output to a file in append mode.

switch# show tech-support > bootflash:TechSupport.txt

Thanks

Thanks for your reply. 

switch# show tech-support > bootflash:TechSupport.txt

So, do you think this bootflash belongs to this switch? 

[James Clifford]

Yes the bootflash is the local memory. type 'dir' and 'dir ?' the next time you are on it and you'll see what what files are on there. 

it's just giving the redirect a target i.e. show-command > filesystem://module/output.txt

the 'filesystem' can also be TFTP so i.e.  show-command > tftp://10.10.1.1/output.txt

Thanks

Do you think the command could use a lot resource, such as ram etc? because this response is

" Show tech brief will take 4-6 minutes to complete. Please Wait ...

: Cannot allocate memory

Thank you

[James Clifford]

It shouldn't do but depends on your environment - there's just a lot of information in a show tech. try 'show tech brief'

fyi show tech was just an example - you could use any command.

Can you rate my responses?

Thanks
