Managing System Files

The switch’s flash memory supports three types of system files that
can be managed by the CLI program, Web interface, or SNMP. The
switch’s file system allows files to be uploaded and downloaded,
copied, deleted, and set as a start-up file.
The three types of files are:
Configuration — These files store system configuration
information and are created when configuration settings are
saved. Saved configuration files can be selected as a system
start-up file or can be uploaded via TFTP to a server for backup.
A file named “Factory_Default_Config.cfg” contains all the
system default settings and cannot be deleted from the system.
See “Saving or Restoring Configuration Settings” on page 2-28
for more information.
Operation Code System software that is executed after
boot-up, also known as run-time code. This code runs the
switch operations and provides the CLI, Web and SNMP
management interfaces. See “Managing Firmware” on page
2-26 for more information.
Diagnostic Code — Software that is run during system
boot-up, also known as POST (Power On Self-Test). This code
also provides a facility to upload firmware files to the system
directly through the console port. See “Upgrading Firmware via
the Serial Port” on page B-1.
