Requirements

• For a local scan, CIS-CAT Pro Assessor must assess an exported configuration file; the output of the show tech-support command. Redirect the output of the show tech-support command to a file (for example, show tech-support > *filename* ) in the local writable storage file system.

• This example shows how to redirect the technical support information to a file:

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

• Once the exported configuration file is available to CIS-CAT Pro Assessor, the assessment can be performed against it.
