File System Overview

The AT-S63 management software has a file system for storing system
files. The file system is a part of flash memory in the switch. You can view
a list of files as well as copy, rename, and delete files. For those AT-9400
Series switches that support a compact flash memory card, you can
perform the same functions on the files stored on a flash card, as well as
copy files between the switch’s file system and a flash card.

The AT-S63 file system supports the following file types:

ˆ

Configuration files

ˆ

Public keys

ˆ

CA and self-signed certificates

ˆ

Certificate enrollment requests

ˆ

Event logs

For an explanation of a boot configuration file, refer to “Working with Boot
Configuration Files” on page 207.

Public encryption keys, public certificates, and certificate enrollment
request files are related to the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificates
feature described in Chapter 33, “Encryption Keys” on page 759 and
Chapter 34, “PKI Certificates and SSL” on page 781. Refer to those
chapters for background information on those files.

Note

The certificate file, certificate enrollment request file, and key file are
supported only on the version of AT-S63 management software that
features SSL and PKI security.

This chapter does not explain how to transfer a file from the AT-S63 file
system to a management station or to an TFTP server. For those
instructions, refer to Chapter 12, “File Downloads and Uploads” on page
229.

Note

The file system may contain one or more ENC.UKF files. These are
encryption key pairs. These files cannot be deleted, copied, or
exported from the file system. For instructions on deleting a key pair,
refer to “Deleting an Encryption Key” on page 771.
