Managing System Files 521

Displaying a List of Files

Files are stored on an WSS switch in the following areas:

File—Contains configuration files

Boot—Contains system image files

Temporary—Contains log files and other files created by WSS Software

The file and boot areas are in nonvolatile storage. Files in nonvolatile storage remain in storage following a software reload or power cycle. The files in the temporary area are removed following a software reload or power cycle.

The boot area is divided into two partitions, boot0 and boot1. Each partition can contain one system image file.

The file area can contain subdirectories. Subdirectory names are indicated by a forward slash at the end of the name. In the following example, dangdir and old are subdirectories.

To display a list of the files in nonvolatile storage and temporary files, type the following command:

23x0# dir
