Listing Switch Files

You can use the ls command to list the files in the primary MPX’s flash memory. To use this
command, enter
ls
at the system prompt. A screen similar to the following will be displayed.
mpx.cmd 18 05/30/98 13:04
mpm.log 18072 06/15/98 17:57
mpx.img 1573617 06/18/98 12:16
esx.img 24289 06/18/98 12:18
mpm.cfg 1024 01/01/70 00:00
mpm.cnf 32768 06/18/98 12:27
1858057 bytes free.
The ls command lists all the files in the current working directory of the primary MPX’s flash
memory, followed by its size (in bytes), creation date, and creation time. The three-letter file
extension indicates the type of file. Examples include configuration (cnf and cfg), command
(cmd), image (img), Programmable Gate Array (.pga), etc. The ls command also lists the total
number of bytes of free memory in flash memory.
♦ Note ♦
If you are connected to the primary MPX and you want
to display the files in a secondary MPX, use the sls
command, which is further detailed in Chapter 6,
“Configuring Management Processor Modules.”
