Switching The Management Focus - Foundry Networks Switch and Router Installation And Configuration Manual

Using Redundant Management Modules
USING THE CLI
To display which flash card slot and subdirectory path currently have the management focus, enter the following
command:
BigIron# pwd
slot1 \
In this example, the management focus is at the root directory of the flash card in slot 1.
Syntax: pwd
In the following example, the management focus is at a subdirectory called "TEST" on the flash card in slot 1.
BigIron# pwd
slot1 \TEST

Switching the Management Focus

The effect of file management commands depends on the flash card and subdirectory that have the management
focus. For example, if you enter a command to delete a file, the software deletes the specified file from the flash
card and subdirectory that currently have the management focus.
To switch the focus of the CLI from one flash card to the other, enter a command such as the following:
BigIron# cd slot2
BigIron#
Syntax: cd | chdir slot1 | slot2
Syntax: cd | chdir <dir-name>
When you enter the cd command, the software changes the management focus to the slot or subdirectory path
you specify, then displays a new command prompt.
If a slot you specify does not contain a flash card, the software displays the message shown in the following
example.
BigIron# cd slot2
The system can not find the drive specified
To switch the management focus to a different subdirectory, enter a commands such as the following:
BigIron# cd PLOOK
Current directory of slot1 is: \PLOOK
This command changes the focus from the root directory level ( \) to the subdirectory named "PLOOK".
If you specify an invalid subdirectory path, the CLI displays a message such as the following:
BigIron# cd PLOOK
Path not found
If you are certain the path you specified exists, make sure you are at the correct level for reaching the path. For
example, if you are already at the PLOOK level, the CLI cannot find the subdirectory "\PLOOK" because it is not a
subdirectory from the level that currently has the management focus.
Displaying a Directory of the Files on a Flash Card
Use the following method to list the files on a flash card.
NOTE: By default, the software displays the contents of the flash card in the slot that has the management focus.
However, you do not need to change the focus to list the files on another flash card. You can specify the other
flash card when you display the files.
