Moving or Renaming Files on the Switch
To move or rename an existing configuration, policy, or if configured, core dump file in the
system, use the following command:
mv [internal-memory <old-name-internal> internal-memory <new-name-internal> |
internal-memory <old-name-internal> memorycard <new-name-memorycard> |
memorycard <old-name-memorycard> memorycard <new-name-memorycard> | memorycard
<new-name-memorycard> <new-name> | <old-name> memorycard <new-name-memorycard>
| <old-name> <new-name>]
Where the following is true:
• internal-memory—Specifies the internal memory card. Specify internal-memory if you
configured core dumps and are sending debug files to the internal memory.
• old-name-internal—Specifies the current name of the core dump file located on the
internal memory card.
• new-name-internal—Specifies the new name of the core dump file located on the internal
memory card.
• memorycard—Specifies the removable external compact flash memory card. (This
parameter is available only on modular switches.)
• old-name-memorycard—Specifies the current name of the file located on the external
compact flash memory card. Depending on your switch configuration, you can have
configuration, policy, or core dump files stored in this card. (This parameter is available
only on modular switches.)
• new-name-memorycard—Specifies the new name of the file located on the external
compact flash memory card. (This parameter is available only on modular switches.)
• old-name—Specifies the current name of the configuration or policy file.
• new-name—Specifies the new name of the configuration or policy file.
XML-formatted configuration files have a .cfg file extension. The switch runs only .cfg files.
ASCII-formatted configuration files have an .xsf file extension. For more information, see
ASCII-Formatted Configuration Files on page 819. Policy files have a .pol file extension.
When you rename a file, make sure the renamed file uses the same file extension as the
original file. If you change the file extensions, the file may be unrecognized by the system.
