Note: Before you continue, verify that the USB drive supports a FAT32 or EXT2 file system.
1. Plug the USB drive into the USB port on the device.
2. Enter the following command to create a USB mount location on the system:
ONIE:/ # mkdir /mnt/media
3. Validate the specific file path for the USB drive on the switch with the blkid command. The USB
drive is highlighted in the command output below.
ONIE:/ # blkid
/dev/sda4: UUID="c4e653fd-b843-452f-9c9d-64429a3f945e"
