1 Managing System Files
This chapter describes the several methods of transferring software files onto the OmniSwitch and how to
register those files for use by the switch. This chapter also describes several basic switch management
procedures and discusses the Command Line Interface (CLI) commands used.
• File Management (copy, secure copy, edit, rename, remove, change, and display file attributes)
• Directory Management (create, copy, move, remove, rename, and display directory information)
• System Date and Time (set system clock)
CLI commands are used in the configuration examples; for more details about the syntax of commands,
see the OmniSwitch 6250/6450 CLI Reference Guide.
