Caution:
Before configuring the main or backup attribute for a file, make sure the file already
exists. For example, to configure the main or backup attribute for a Web file, you
need to make sure the file exists on the switch.
The configuration of the main or backup attribute of a Web file takes effect
immediately without restarting the switch.
Currently, a configuration file has the extension of cfg and resides in the root
directory of a switch.

1.2.1 Introduction to File System

To facilitate management on storage devices such as the Flash of a switch, Ethernet
switches provide the file system module. The file system allows users to access and
manage
creating/deleting/modifying/renaming a file or a directory and displaying the contents of
a file.
By default, a switch prompts for confirmation before executing the commands which
have potential risks (for example, deleting and overwriting files).
According to the operation objects, the operations on the file system fall into the
following categories:
Directory operation
