Displaying The Hexadecimal Output Of A File; Creating A Subdirectory - Dell PowerConnect B-RX Configuration Manual

For example, to display the contents of a file in flash memory, if flash memory has the current
management focus, enter a command such as the following.
BigIron RX# more cfg.cfg
Syntax: more [/<directory>/]<file-name>
Use the <directory> parameter to specify a directory in a file system that does not have current
management focus.
Use the <path-name> parameter to specify the file you want to display.
For example, to display the contents of a file on the flash card in slot 2, if flash memory has the
current management focus, enter a command such as the following.
BigIron RX# more /slot2/cfg.cfg

Displaying the hexadecimal output of a file

You can display the hexadecimal output of a file in the management module's flash memory or on
a flash card inserted in the management module's slot 1 or slot 2.
The software attempts to display the hexadecimal output of a specified file in the file system that
has the current management focus. By default, flash memory has the management focus.
However, you do not need to change the focus to display the hexadecimal output of the file in a file
system that does not currently have management focus. In this case, you can specify the
/<directory>/<file-name> parameter with the hd command to display the output of the file in the
desired file system.
For example, to display the hexadecimal output of a file in flash memory, if flash memory has the
current management focus, enter the following command.
BigIron RX# hd cfg.cfg
Syntax: hd [/<directory>/]<file-name>
Use the <directory> parameter to specify a directory in a file system that does not have current
management focus.
Use the <file-name> parameter to specify a file for which you want to display the hexadecimal
output.
For example, to display the hexadecimal output of a file in a flash card inserted in slot 2, if flash
memory has the current management focus, enter the following command.
BigIron RX# hd /slot2/cfg.cfg

Creating a subdirectory

You can create a subdirectory in the flash card file system using the md and mkdir commands,
which have the same syntax and function exactly the same.
NOTE
You cannot create subdirectories in the flash memory file system. Therefore, the md and mkdir
commands do not apply to the flash memory file system.
