Directory structure
The flash file system emulates a hard disk and is mounted as device C:\. In the
root directory, there is a BOOT.CFG file, LOAD_A directory, and LOAD_B
directory. The LOAD_A and LOAD_B directories contain the same directory
structure, but contain different software versions. During boot-up, the
Passport 8250 reads the BOOT.CFG file to know which software version to
load.
The LOAD_A and LOAD_B directories contain a BOOT.O file, CODE
directory, and DATA directory. The BOOT.O file is the executable image for
the network board. The CODE directory contains a T1_SRV.000 directory
and E1_SRV.000 directory, with each directory storing executable images for
the particular traffic interface. The DATA directory contains the UNIT
directories: UNIT00, UNIT01, UNIT02, and UNIT03.
The UNIT directories store the following information as persistent data:
