Renaming a System File
This procedure is used to rename files in a system’s file system or a
compact flash card. Before renaming a file, note the following:
ˆ To rename 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 225.
ˆ Files with the extension UKF are encryption key pairs. These files
cannot be copied, renamed, or deleted from the file system.
ˆ Renaming 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 208.
