RAM Segment

The file system supports a fifth segment known as the RAM segment. The RAM segment is similar to the other segments, except the file contents are stored in RAM and the segment’s contents are lost when you reboot the access point.

The RAM segment is limited to a maximum of 4096 bytes. It is used to hold small script files during the software download process.

When you view the file directory, the program currently executing displays as if it were in the RAM segment. This program, however, is not really a part of the RAM segment. You cannot delete or erase it, and TFTP commands cannot read or write to it. It displays as part of the file directory so you can determine which version of software is running.

Segment Names

You must enter a segment for most access point file system commands. You can type the numeric digits (1, 2, 3, or 4) corresponding to the respective file segments, or you can use the following mnemonics (the access point translates them to a segment number):
