View Conguration Files

Conguration les have three commented lines at the beginning of the le, as shown in the following example, to help you track the last

time any user made a change to the le, which user made the changes, and when the le was last saved to the startup-conguration.

In the running-conguration le, if there is a dierence between the timestamp on the “Last conguration change,” and “Startup-cong

last updated,” you have made changes that have not been saved and will not be preserved after a system reboot.

Managing the File System

The Dell Networking system can use the internal Flash, USB Flash, or remote devices to store les.

The system stores les on the internal Flash by default but you can congure the system to store les elsewhere.

To view le system information, use the following command.

• View information about each le system.

EXEC Privilege mode

show file-systems

The output of the show file-systems command in the following example shows the total capacity, amount of free memory, le

structure, media type, read/write privileges for each storage device in use.

Dell#show file-systems

Size(b) Free(b) Feature Type Flags Prefixes

2143281152 2000785408 FAT32 USERFLASH rw flash:

15848660992 831594496 FAT32 USBFLASH rw usbflash:

- - - network rw ftp:

- - - network rw tftp:

- - - network rw scp:

You can change the default le system so that le management commands apply to a particular device or memory.

To change the default directory, use the following command.

• Change the default directory.

EXEC Privilege mode

cd directory

You can change the default storage location to the USB Flash, as shown. File management commands then apply to the USB Flash rather

than the internal Flash. The bold lines show that no le system is specied and that the le is saved to an USB Flash.

Dell#cd usbflash:
