File Management Messages - Dell PowerConnect B-RX Configuration Manual

BigIron RX# locate startup-config slot1 switch1.cfg
BigIron RX# write memory
The first command in this example sets the device to save configuration changes to the file named
"switch1.cfg" in the flash card in slot 1. The second command saves the running-config to the
switch1.cfg file on the flash card in slot 1.
NOTE
In this example, after you save the configuration changes using the write memory command, the
switch1.cfg file will include the command that designates slot 1 as the save location for
configuration changes.
Syntax: locate startup-config [slot1 | slot2 | flash-memory] [/<dir-path-name>/]<file-name>
The slot1, slot2, and flash-memory keywords specify the flash card in slot 1 or slot 2 or flash
memory as the save location for configuration changes.
Specify the <dir-path-name> parameter if you want to save the configuration changes to a directory
other than the root directory of a flash card file system.
The <file-name> parameter indicates the name of the saved configuration file.
To change the save location back to flash memory, enter a command such as the following.
BigIron RX# locate startup-config flash-memory switch1.cfg
BigIron RX# write memory
