Compact Flash
AT-8900 Series switches have a compact flash socket on their front panel.
Compact flash cards increase the flash memory available for file storage.
Compact flash files can be manipulated using the command line interface. Any
type of data, including releases, patches, GUIs and configurations can be stored
on compact flash cards. However, release, patch, and GUI files cannot be run
directly from compact flash. These files must be loaded into either NVS or
onboard flash.
Data contained on compact flash cards can be read with any compliant reader.
Do not keep sensitive data, for example keys, on compact flash cards.
