Working with the Flash File System

The flash file system is a single flash device on which you can store files. It also provides several
commands to help you manage software image and configuration files. The default flash file system on
the switch is named flash:.
The switch has a removable compact flash card that stores the Cisco IOS software image and
configuration files. Removing the compact flash card does not interrupt switch operation unless you need to
reload the Cisco IOS software. However, if you remove the compact flash card, you do not have access to the
flash file system, and any attempt to access it generates an error message.
Use the show flash: privileged EXEC command to display the compact flash file settings. For more
information about the command, go to this URL:

For information about how to remove or replace the compact flash memory card on the switch, see the
Cisco IE 3000 Hardware Installation Guide.
