5.1 Managing System Files
The ECN330-switch’s flash memory supports four types of system files. All of
these file types can be managed by the Command Line Interface (CLI) or SNMP.
Only configuration and operation code file types can be mananged by the web
interface.
The ECN330-switch allows system files to be uploaded and downloaded,
copied, deleted, and set as a start-up file that is loaded when the ECN330-
switch boots. See section on page 560 for detailed information on the available
CLI commands.
Each file type can be described as follows:
• Configuration — Files that store system configuration information and
are created when configuration settings are saved. (Configuration
commands only modify a "running-configuration" file, which is not saved
when the ECN330-switch is rebooted.) Saved configuration files can be
selected as a system start-up file or can be uploaded through TFTP to
a server for backup. A file named “Factory_Default_Config.cfg” contains
all the system default settings and cannot be deleted from the system.
• Operation Code — System software that is executed after boot-up,
also known as run-time code. This code runs the ECN330-switch
operations and provides the CLI, web, and SNMP management
interfaces.
• Diagnostic Code — Software that is run during system boot-up, also
known as POST (Power On Self-Test).
• Loader Code — This is the first software module that boots up when
the system is powered on. It supports system file download through
XModem and a few basic file management options.
Due to the size limit of the flash memory, the ECN330-switch supports only two
operation code files, and two diagnostic code files. However, there can be as
many configuration files as available flash memory space allows. The ECN330-
switch has a total of 32 Mbytes of flash memory for system files.
