1.1 File System Configuration

1.1.1 Introduction to File System

To facilitate the management of storage devices such as the Flash of a switch, an
Ethernet switch has the file system module built in. The file system enables you to
access and manage files and directories by performing the operations of creating,
deleting, modifying, renaming a file or a directory and displaying the content of a file.
By default, a switch prompts for confirmation before executing the commands which
have potential risks (for example, deleting and overwriting files).
Note:
S7500 series switches support SRPU switchover. Both the primary and the secondary
SRPU have file system built in for you to manipulate the files on the both SRPUs. Note
that the URL of a file on the secondary SRPU must begin with slot[No.]#flash:/, where
No. is the number of the slot where the secondary SRPU is seated. Assume that the
secondary SRPU is seated in slot 1, then you need to use slot1#flash:/text.txt to identify
the file named text.txt and residing in the root directory of the secondary SRPU.
