System Files
System files are files that contain configuration information, firmware images or boot code.
Various actions can be performed with these files, such as: selecting the firmware file from which the
device boots, copying various types of configuration files internally on the device, or copying files to or from
an external device, such as an external server.
The possible methods of file transfer are:
• Internal copy
• HTTP/HTTPS that uses the facilities that the browser provides
• TFTF/SCP client, requiring a TFTP/SCP server
Configuration files on the device are defined by their type, and contain the settings and parameter values
for the device.
