A number of resident tools exist to support these and other functions. Configuration Management All managed systems have software images and databases that must be configured, backed up and restored. Two software images may be stored on the system, but only one of them is active. The other one is a backup image. The same is true for configuration images, which store the configuration parameters for the switch. The system has three configuration images. One image is a memory-only image and is the current configuration image for the switch. The second image is the one that is loaded by the system when it reboots. There is one backup configuration image. The system also provides methods to back up these images to a remote system. File System Commands All files are stored in a flat file system. The following commands are used to perform operations on these files. Command delete file filedescr file description copy source destination Description Deletes file. Adds a description to a file (up to 20 characters can be used). Copies a file from source file to destination file. Copying Files The copy command not only provides a method for copying files within the file system, but also to and from remote servers. With the copy command and URLs to identify files, the user can back up images to local or remote systems or restore images from local or remote systems. 132 Using the CLI
