Using CLI Functions and Tools
The CLI has been designed to manage the switch’s configuration file system and to manage 
switch security. 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.
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.
