Example of the dir Command
The output of the dir command also shows the read/write privileges, size (in bytes), and date of
modification for each file.

View Configuration Files

Configuration files have three commented lines at the beginning of the file, as shown in the following
example, to help you track the last time any user made a change to the file, which user made the
changes, and when the file was last saved to the startup-configuration.
In the running-configuration file, if there is a difference between the timestamp on the “Last
configuration change,” and “Startup-config last updated,” you have made changes that have not been
saved and will not be preserved after a system reboot.
Example of the show running-config Command
Dell#show running-config

Managing the File System
The Dell Networking system can use the internal Flash, USB Flash, or remote devices to store files.
The system stores files on the internal Flash by default but you can configure the system to store files
elsewhere.
