Image and File Management Overview
What Files Can Be Managed?
PowerConnect 8000/8100-series switches maintain several different types of
files on the flash file system. Table 14-1 describes the files that you can
manage. The table also lists the type of action you can take on the file, which
is one or more of the following:
• Download the file to the switch from a remote system (or USB flash drive
on the PowerConnect 8100-series devices).
• Upload the file from the switch to a remote system (or USB flash drive on
the PowerConnect 8100-series devices).
• Copy the file from one location on the file system to another location.
NOTE: For information about the Auto Configuration feature that enables the
switch to automatically upgrade the image or load a new configuration file during
the boot process, see Automatically Updating the Image and Configuration.
