Caution:
When you use the delete command without the unreserved option to delete a file, the
file is in fact saved in the recycle bin and still occupies some of the storage space. So,
the frequent uses of this command may results in insufficient storage space of the
Ethernet switch; in this case, you should find out the unused files kept in the recycle bin
and permanently delete them with the reset recycle-bin command to reclaim the
storage space.
Note:
The directory and file names on the switch have the following limitation:
z The maximum length of a directory or file name is 64 characters.
z The maximum length of a full path name (containing the device name, directory
name and file name) is 136 characters.
z The move command takes effect only when the source and destination files are in
the same device.
The file system can be used to format a specified memory device. You can use the
following commands to format a specified memory device.
Switch supports compact flash (CF) card. After a CF card is inserted successfully, you
can use such common commands as dir, cd, copy, delete, move to perform
operations on the files in the card. You can also stop the CF card through a command
before dismounting it.
Perform the following configuration in user view.
