NETGEAR 8800 Chassis Switch CLI Manual Enter y to copy the file. Enter n to cancel this process and not copy the file. When you enter y, the switch copies the file with the new name and keeps a backup of the original file with the original name. After the switch copies the file, use the ls command to display a complete list of files. In this example, the switch displays the original file named test.cfg and the copied file named test_rev2.cfg. The following is sample output from the ls command: ... -rw-r--r--rw-r--r-... 1 root 1 root root root 100980 Sep 23 09:16 test.cfg 100980 Oct 13 08:47 test_rev2.cfg When you enter n, the switch displays a message similar to the following: Copy cancelled. Case-sensitive Filenames Filenames are case-sensitive. In this example, you have a configuration file named Test.cfg. If you attempt to copy the file with the incorrect case, for example test.cfg, the switch displays a message similar to the following: Error: cp: /config/test.cfg: No such file or directory Since the switch is unable to locate test.cfg, the file is not copied. Local Filename Character Restrictions This section provides information about the characters supported by the switch for local filenames. When specifying a local filename, the switch permits only the following characters: • Alphabetical letters, upper case and lower case (A-Z, a-z) • Numerals (0-9) • Period ( . ) • Dash ( - ) • Underscore ( _ ) When naming a local file, remember the requirements listed above. Internal Memory and Core Dump Files Core dump files have a .gz file extension. The filename format is: core..gz where process-name indicates the name of the process that failed and pid is the numerical identifier of that process. If you save core dump files to an external memory card, the filename also includes the affected MSM/MM: MSM-A or MSM-B. By making a copy of a core dump file, you can easily compare new debug information with the old file if needed. 160 | Chapter 4. Commands for Managing the NETGEAR 8800 Software
