Setting the Current Directory

The cd command changes the current directory level to a specified directory level. The CLI defaults to
the volatile: file system. This command expects a directory name input.
Any file saved in the volatile: file system is erased when the switch reboots.
The syntax for this command is cd directory name.
This command exchanges the current directory to the root directory on the bootflash: file system:
switch# cd bootflash:
This example changes the current directory to the mystorage directory that resides in the current
directory:
switch# cd mystorage

Displaying the Current Directory

The pwd command displays the current directory location. This example changes the directory and
displays the current directory:
switch# cd bootflash:
switch# pwd
bootflash:

Listing the Files in a Directory

The dir command displays the contents of the current directory or the specified directory. The syntax
for this command is dir directory or dir filename.
This example shows how to list the files on the default volatile: file system:
switch# dir

Creating a Directory

The mkdir command creates a directory at the current directory level or at a specified directory level.
The syntax for this command is mkdir directory name.
This example creates a directory called test in the bootflash: directory.
switch# mkdir bootflash:test
This example creates a directory called test at the current directory level.
switch# mkdir test
