MANAGING SYSTEM FILES

 

 

A Wireless Switch (WX) contains nonvolatile storage. MSS allows you to

 

manage the files in nonvolatile storage. In addition, you can copy files

 

between the WX switch and a TFTP server on the network.

 

 

About System Files

Generally, a WX switch’s nonvolatile storage contains the following types

 

of files:

 

„ System image files — The operating system software for the WX

 

switch and its attached MAPs

 

„ Configuration files — CLI commands that configure the WX switch

 

and its attached MAPs

 

„ System log files — Files containing log entries generated by MSS.

 

When you power on or reset the WX switch or reboot the software, the

 

switch loads a designated system image, then loads configuration

 

information from a designated configuration file.

 

A WX switch can also contain temporary files with trace information used

 

for troubleshooting. Temporary files are not stored in nonvolatile memory,

 

but are listed when you display a directory of the files on the switch.

Displaying Software

To display the software, firmware, and hardware versions, use the

Version Information

following command:

 

display version [details]

The details option displays hardware and software information about the MAPs configured on the WX switch.
