USB Flash Drive Commands

When available, a USB flash drive can be used to configure, upgrade and
provide consistency to a switching network. A USB flash drive can be plugged
in sequentially to a set of routers/switches to upgrade to newer software
versions without depending on the network to upgrade the switches with new
firmware. New switches can be pre-loaded with configuration prior to
deployment.
The USB Configuration Port provides access to an optional secondary storage
capability to the switch. A USB flash drive can be used to store and deploy
configurations and images from USB flash drive to the switch. A USB flash
drive can be used easily to move and copy configuration and image files from
one switch to other. Files from the switch can be copied to a USB flash device
and can be used to deploy on other switches in the network.
