A WLAN-Security Switch (WSS) contains nonvolatile storage. WSS Software allows you to manage the files in
nonvolatile storage. In addition, you can copy files between the WSS and a TFTP server on the network.
About System Files
Generally, an WSS switch's nonvolatile storage contains the following types of files:
•
System image files-The operating system software for the WSS switch and its attached AP access ports
•
Configuration files-CLI commands that configure the WSS and its attached AP access ports
•
System log files-Files containing log entries generated by WSS Software.
When you power on or reset the WSS or reboot the software, the switch loads a designated system image, then loads
configuration information from a designated configuration file.
An WSS switch can also contain temporary files with trace information used for troubleshooting. Temporary files are
not stored in nonvolatile memory, but are listed when you display a directory of the files on the switch.
