326 CHAPTER 37: FILE SYSTEM MANAGEMENT
Perform the following configuration in user view.
CAUTION: Before configuring the main or backup attribute for a file, make sure the
file already exists. For example, to configure the main or backup attribute for a Web
file, you need to make sure the file exists on the switch.
The configuration of the main or backup attribute of a Web file takes effect
immediately without restarting the switch.
Currently, a configuration file has the extension of cfg and resides in the root
directory of a switch.

Introduction to File
System
To facilitate management on storage devices such as the Flash of a switch, Ethernet
switches provide the file system module. The file system allows users to access and
manage files and directories, such as the operations of
creating/deleting/modifying/renaming a file or a directory and displaying the contents
of a file.
By default, a switch prompts for confirmation before executing the commands which
have potential risks (for example, deleting and overwriting files).
