Networking OS supports IPv4 and IPv6 addressing for FTP, TFTP, and SCP (in the hostip field).

Managing the File System

The S5000 switch can use the internal Flash, external Flash, or remote devices to store files.

The system stores files on the internal Flash by default but can be configured to store files elsewhere.

To view file system information, use the following command.

• View information about each file 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, file structure, media type, read/write privileges for each storage device in use.

You can change the default file system so that file management commands apply to a particular device

or memory.

To change the default directory, use the following command.

• Change the default directory.
