Displaying Available File Systems
To display the available file systems on your switch, use the show file systems privileged EXEC
command as shown in this example. In this example, the stack master is stack member 3; therefore
flash3: is aliased to flash:. The file system on stack member 5 is displayed as flash5 on the stack
master.
