Deleting a System File
This procedure is used to delete files from a system’s flash memory or a
compact flash card. Before deleting a file, note the following:
ˆ Deleting the active boot configuration file and then resetting the switch
returns the unit to its default parameter settings, unless you save the
current configuration or select another active boot configuration file.
For instructions on how to change the active boot configuration file,
see “Setting the Active Boot Configuration File” on page 149.
ˆ To delete a file on a compact flash card, you must first change to the
directory where the file is stored. This procedure does not allow you to
specify a directory path. For instructions, refer to “Changing the
Current Flash Card Directory” on page 166.
ˆ Files with the extension UKF are encryption key pairs. These files
cannot be copied, renamed, or deleted from the file system. To delete
a key pair from the switch, refer to “Deleting an Encryption Key” on
page 600.
