Using USB to Transfer Files to and from the Switch

The switch's USB port (labeled as Auxiliary Port) allows the use of a USB
flash drive for copying configuration files to and from the switch.
Operating rules and restrictions on USB usage are:
Unformatted USB flash drives must first be formatted on a PC (Windows
■
FAT format). For devices with multiple partitions, only the first partition
is supported. Devices with secure partitions are not supported.
■ If they already exist on the device, sub-directories are supported. When
specifying a <filename>, you must enter either the individual file name (if
at the root) or the full path name (for example, /subdir/filename).
To view the contents of a USB flash drive, use the dir command. This will
■
list all files and directories at the root. To view the contents of a directory,
you must specify the subdirectory name (that is, dir <subdirectory>).
The USB port supports connection to a single USB device. USB hubs to
■
add more ports are not supported.
Some USB flash drives may not be supported on your switch. Consult the latest
Release Notes for information on supported devices.
