Chapter 9: Additional Access Point Features

FD

Purpose: Displays the flash file system directory, which includes

information about the boot file and file type: E (executable), D (data), and T (transparent). Use this command to ensure that the correct version of the file is in the active boot segment. For information about transparent files, see “Understanding Transparent Files” on page 265.

Syntax: FD

Example: To display the files loaded in the flash memory segment, enter:

FD 1

Note

If the flash memory segment contains no files when you reboot the access point, the access point enters the AP monitor and you will no longer be able to telnet to it during this session. If this occurs, you must access the access point through its serial port to correct the problem.

To show the files loaded in the memory card, enter:

FD app:

FDEL

Purpose: Deletes a particular file.

Note

When you use the FDEL command, the file is marked as invalid and remains in the file system. To reclaim the file space, you must erase the entire segment. Use the FE command to erase a segment.

Syntax: FDEL f

where f is the name of the file to be deleted.

Example: To delete the file AP824X.PRG from the flash memory segment, enter:

FDEL 1:AP824X.PRG

To delete the file FILE.DAT from the memory card, enter:

FDEL APP:FILE.DAT
