Chapter 1 File System Management
1.1 File System
1.1.1 File System Overview
The Ethernet switch provides a file system module for user’s efficient management
over the storage devices such as flash memory. The file system offers file access and
directory management, mainly including creating the file system, creating, deleting,
modifying and renaming a file or a directory and opening a file.
By default, the file system needs user’s confirmation before executing the commands,
such as deleting or overwriting a file, which may make losses.
Note:
S6506R supports master board and slave board. The two boards both have file system.
User can operate the file on the two boards. In the case user operate the file on slave
board, the file directory or URL should be started with “slot[No.]#flash:”, the [No.] is the
slave board number. For example, suppose slot 1 is slave board, “text.txt” file URL on
slave board should be “slot1#flash:/text.txt”.
Based on the operated objects, the file system can be divided as follows:
z Directory operation
z File operation
z Storage device operation
z Set the prompt mode of the file system
