Configuration File Management
Files can be stored on and accessed from various storage media. Rename, delete, and copy files on the
system from the EXEC Privilege mode.
The E-Series EtherScale platform architecture uses MMC cards for both the internal and external Flash
memory. MMC cards support a maximum of 100 files. The E-Series TeraScale and ExaScale platforms
architecture use Compact Flash for the internal and external Flash memory. It has a space limitation but
does not limit the number of files it can contain.
Copy Files to and from the System
The command syntax for copying files is similar to UNIX. The copy command uses the format copy
source-file-url destination-file-url.
• To copy a local file to a remote system, combine the file-origin syntax for a local file location with the
file-destination syntax for a remote file location shown in Table 3-2, "Forming a copy Command," in
Getting Started.
• To copy a remote file to Dell Force10 system, combine the
file-origin syntax for a remote file location
with the
file-destination syntax for a local file location shown in Table 3-2, "Forming a copy Command,"
in Getting Started.
Note: Using flash memory cards in the system that have not been approved by Dell Force10 can cause
unexpected system behavior, including a reboot.
Note: See the FTOS Command Reference for a detailed description of the copy command.
