Description

This command renames a file in the switch’s file system. Note the
following when using this command:

ˆ

Files with the extension UKF are encryption key pairs. These files
cannot be copied, renamed, or deleted from the file system.

ˆ

The filename extensions of the old and new filenames must be the
same.

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 “SET CONFIG” on page 205.

ˆ

The source and destination locations must be the same.

Examples

The following command renames the file “Switch12.cfg” in the switch’s file
system to “Sw 44a.cfg”:

rename Switch12.cfg "Sw 44a.cfg"
