602CHAPTER 27: MANAGING SYSTEM FILES

Working with Files

Displaying a List of Files

The following section describe how to manage files stored on the WX switch.

Files are stored on a WX switch in the following areas:

„File — Contains configuration files

„Boot — Contains system image files

„Temporary — Contains log files and other files created by MSS

The file and boot areas are in nonvolatile storage. Files in nonvolatile storage remain in storage following a software reload or power cycle. The files in the temporary area are removed following a software reload or power cycle.

The boot area is divided into two partitions, boot0 and boot1. Each partition can contain one system image file.

The file area can contain subdirectories. Subdirectory names are indicated by a forward slash at the end of the name. In the following example, dangdir and old are subdirectories.

To display a list of the files in nonvolatile storage and temporary files, type the following command:

WX1200# dir
