Variable Value
-a Adds data to the output file instead of overwriting it.
You cannot use the -a option with the -c option.
-c Compares the checksum of the specified file by
WORD<1–99> with the MD5 checksum present in
the checksum file name. You can specify the

calculates the checksum of files specified by
WORD<1–99>
compares the checksum with all keys in the
checksum file, even if filenames do not match
displays the output of comparison
-f WORD<1–99> Stores the result of MD5 checksum to a file on
internal flash.
If the output file specified with the -f option is
reserved filenames on the switch, the command fails
with the error message:
Error: Invalid operation.
If the output file specified with the -f option is files for
which to compute MD5 checksum, the command
fails with the error message:

config.cfg Error: Invalid operation on
file <filename>
If the checksum filename specified by the -f option
exists on the switch (and is not one of the reserved
filenames), the following message appears on the
switch:
