File System Commands

This chapter contains the following sections:

File Specification

The files may be located on:

  • Network: TFTP servers and/or SCP servers - Network files

  • Active FLASH - Flash files

  • mass-storage connected to a USB port of Active - USB files. Only one mass-storage is supported.

Note. Although inside the switch supports the File System on FLASH of all stack units the File System CLI commands allow access only to flash files on Active unit. Needed file synchronizations between Active unit and other units is performed by the switch automatically.

Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) are used to specify the location of a file or a directory. The URL has the following syntax:

<url> ::= tftp://<location>/<file-path> | scp://[<username>:<password>@]<location>/<file-path> | usb://<file-path> | flash://<file-path> | <current-directory>[/<file-path>] | <higher-directory>[/<file-path>] | <file-path>

<username> ::= string up to 70 characters

<password> :: = string up to 70 characters

<location> ::= <ipv4-address> | <ipv6-address> | <dns-name>

<current-directory> ::= [{usb | flash}:][.]

<higher-directory> ::= [{usb | flash}:]..

<file-path> ::= [<directories-path>/]<filename>

<directories-path> ::= <directory-name> | <directories-path>/<directory-name>

The maximum number of directories in <directories-path> is 16.

<directory-name> ::= string up to 63 characters

<filename> ::= string up to 63 characters

Filenames and directory names consist only of characters from the portable filename character set. The set includes the following characters:

  • A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

  • a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z

  • <space>

  • 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 . _ -

The last three characters are the <period>, <underscore>, and <hyphen> characters, respectively.

If an URL includes spaces it must be enclosed by the " characters.

For example:

"flash://aaa it/alpha/file 125"

The maximal length of URL is 160 characters

The following File systems are supported on USB:

  • FAT32—Full support.

  • NTFS—Partially support: read only.

The switch supports the following predefined URL aliases:

  • active-image—The predefined URL alias specifies the Active Image file. This file has the following permissions:

    readable

    executable

  • inactive-image—The predefined URL alias specifies the Inactive Image file. This file has the following permissions:

    readable

    executable

  • running-config—The predefined URL alias specifies the Running Configuration File.

  • startup-config—The predefined URL alias specifies the Startup Configuration File. This file has the following permissions:

    readable

  • localization. The predefined URL alias specifies the Secondary Language Dictionary files. These files have the following permissions:

    readable

System Flash Files

The system files used by the switch are in the flash://system/ directory. A user cannot add, delete, and rename the system files and directories, a user cannot create new directories under the system directory.

The system files are divided to the following groups:

  • Inner System files. The files are created by the switch itself. For example the Syslog file.

  • Files installed/Uninstalled by user. This group includes the following files:

    Active and Inactive Images

    Startup Configuration

    Secondary Language Dictionary

Additionally, the following commands from previous versions can be used too:

Note. Reset to Factory Default removes all files from the FLASH except the following files:

  • active-image

  • inactive-image

  • mirror-config

  • localization

The flash://system/ directory contains the following directories:

  • flash://system/images/—The directory contains the Active and Inactive Image files.

  • flash://system/configuration/—The directory contains the Startup and Mirror Configuration files.

  • flash://system/localization/—The directory contains the Secondary Language Dictionary files.

  • flash://system/syslog/—The directory contains the Syslog file.

  • flash://system/applications/—The directory contains inner system files managed by the switch applications.

boot config

To install a file as Startup Configuration after reload, use the boot config command in Privileged EXEC mode. To uninstall the Startup configuration file, use the no form of this command.
