Question : HP ProCurve command line: how to print mac addresses

I am trying to get a ProCurve 2650 command line to let me print all of the port assignments by mac. I ultimatly want to write a script that can go get the mac addresses to each port from all of the switches.

I can telnet (using the xp command line program or linux) into a HP Procurve 2650 and log in.
I can use the command line to type in: SHOW MAC  and it will give me all MAC's assigned to the different ports but in only does 20 lines at a time.
I use: PRINT "SHOW MAC" and it will display all of the mac addresses at one time but it scrolls so far up that I can capture this information.
I want to be able to send this information to a txt file somehow.

Thanks,
doug

Answer : HP ProCurve command line: how to print mac addresses

One way to do something like this is set up tftp on a box to recieve the MAClog-files.
www.solarwinds.net has a free tftp.
asuming this box has IP 10.20.30.40 .

Then telnet to sw and isue the command:
copy  command  'show MAC 1-50'  tftp 10.20.30.40  logfile.txt

This wil send the output from the command: show MAC 1-50
to a file named logfile.txt (or whatever) on your tftp-box.
