Usage Guidelines
If you rename a file with a given extension, remember the following:
Configuration files use the .cfg file extension
●
Policy files use the .pol file extension
●
Make sure the renamed file uses the same file extension as the original file. If you change the file
extensions, the file may be unrecognized by the system. For example, if you have an existing
configuration file named test.cfg, the new filename must include the .cfg file extension.
You cannot rename an active configuration file (the configuration currently selected to boot the switch).
To verify the configuration that you are currently using, issue the
you attempt to rename the active configuration file, the switch displays a message similar to the
following:
Error: Cannot rename current selected active configuration file.
When you rename a file, the switch displays a message similar to the following:
Rename config test.cfg to config megtest.cfg on switch? (y/n)
Enter y to rename the file on your system. Enter n to cancel this process and keep the existing filename.
Case-sensitive Filenames. Filenames are case-sensitive. In this example, you have a configuration file
named Test.cfg. If you attempt to rename the file with the incorrect case, for example test.cfg, the switch
displays a message similar to the following:
Error: mv: unable to rename `/config/test.cfg': No such file or directory
Since the switch is unable to locate test.cfg, the file is not renamed.
