Copying Files from DOS to NVFS
When copying files from DOS diskettes to NVFS memory cards, you must
specify the destination file name in the command. DOS file names are in
uppercase. The NVFS file names for the router software image and the
configuration file must be in lowercase.
If you copy files from DOS diskettes to NVFS memory cards and you do not
specify the destination file name, the system copies the file name in uppercase.
For example, if you enter
copy a:ace.out 1:,
the system copies the file to NVFS
as ACE.OUT. If you enter
copy a:ace.out 1:ace.out
, the system copies the file to
NVFS as ace.out.
Do not use wildcards. If you copy files from DOS to NVFS using a wildcard, the
file names are copied in uppercase. For example, if you enter
copy a:b*.exe 2:
the system copies all files that begin with the letter b and end with the file
extension .exe
to NVFS in the format BXXXXXXX.EXE, where XXXXXXX
represents the missing characters in the file name.
Caution:
The router will fail to boot from a memory card whose image and
configuration file have uppercase names.
