translation table which is synchronised with file contents in memory. For more
information about working with files see the Working With Files section,
Operation chapter, AT-8800 Series Switch Software Reference.

The switch automatically compacts FLASH memory when a maximum
threshold of deleted files is reached. Compaction frees space for new files by
discarding garbage. A message will appear when FLASH compaction is
activated. Another message appears when FLASH compaction is complete.
While FLASH is compacting, do not restart the switch or use any commands
that affect the FLASH file subsystem. Do not restart the switch, or create, edit,
load, rename or delete any files until a message confirms that FLASH file
compaction is completed. Interrupting flash compaction may result in damage
to files.

Using Scripts

When you start or restart the switch, or when it automatically restarts, it
executes the configuration commands in the boot script. A boot script is a text
file containing a sequence of standard commands that the switch executes at
startup. The default boot script is called
script are limited to 128 characters.
The commands you enter into the switch from the command line affect only
the dynamic configuration in RAM, which is not retained over a power cycle.
The switch does not automatically store these changes in FLASH memory.
When the switch is restarted, it loads the configuration defined by the boot
script, or if the switch was restarted using the RESTART command, any script
file specified in the RESTART command.
