Viewing System Files and Changing the Active Configuration File
This procedure displays the files stored in the switch’s file system. This
procedure also explains how to change the active boot configuration file
on the switch. The active boot configuration file is used by the switch to
configure its operating parameters whenever the unit is reset or power
cycled. The active boot file is also the file that is updated whenever you
select the Save Config option.
Note the following before performing this procedure:
 You cannot create a new configuration file from a web browser
management session. That function must be performed from a local,
Telnet, or SSH session.
 You cannot copy, rename, delete, or view the contents of files in the file
system from a web browser management session. Those tasks must
