Browsing the File System
Browsing the File System
The PXM hard disk stores log files, configuration files, and boot and runtime software. The switch
operating system supports a set of UNIX-like commands that you can use to locate log files or manage
software updates. Table A-1 lists commands that you can use to browse the file system.
Note File and directory names in the switch file system are case sensitive. Also, some of the commands listed
in Table A-1 are not available at all administrator access levels.
Command Purpose
Step 1
ftp Copy the boot and runtime files you want to use to the switch.
See “Copying Software Files to the Switch,” which appears later
in this appendix.
Step 2
Refer to “Configuration Quickstart” Chapter 4, “Preparing
Service Modules for Communication.”
The setrev command in the quickstart procedure clears the card
configuration and assigns the downgrade software version to the
card.
