Deployment Guide

NOTE: When copying to a server, you can only use a host name if you have congured a DNS

server.

• Save the running-conguration to the startup-conguration on the internal ash of the primary RPM. Then copy the new startup-

cong le to the external ash of the primary RPM.

EXEC Privilege mode

copy running-config startup-config duplicate

Dell Networking OS Behavior: If you create a startup-conguration on an RPM and then move the RPM to another chassis, the startup-

conguration is stored as a backup le (with the extension .bak), and a new, empty startup-conguration le is created. To restore your

original startup-conguration in this situation, overwrite the new startup-conguration with the original one using the copy startup-

config.bak startup-config command.

NOTE: When you load the startup conguration or a conguration le from a network server such as TFTP to the running

conguration, the conguration is added to the running conguration. This does not replace the existing running conguration.

Commands in the conguration le has precedence over commands in the running conguration.

Viewing Files

You can only view le information and content on local le systems.

To view a list of les or the contents of a le, use the following commands.

• View a list of les on the internal ash.

EXEC Privilege mode

dir flash:

• View a list of les on the usbash.

EXEC Privilege mode

dir usbflash:

• View the contents of a le in the internal ash.

EXEC Privilege mode

show file flash://filename

• View the contents of a le in the usb ash.

EXEC Privilege mode

show file usbflash://filename

• View the running-conguration.

EXEC Privilege mode

show running-config

• View the startup-conguration.

EXEC Privilege mode

show startup-config

Example of the dir Command

The output of the dir command also shows the read/write privileges, size (in bytes), and date of modication for each le.
