File System Overview
The AT-S63 management software has a file system for storing system
files in flash memory on the switch or on a compact flash card. You can
view a list of files as well as copy, rename, and delete files. The following
file types are supported by the AT-S63 file system:
Configuration files
Public keys
Public certificates
Certificate enrollment requests
For an explanation of a boot configuration file, refer to “Working with Boot
Configuration Files” on page 183.
Public encryption keys, public certificates, and certificate enrollment
request files are related to the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificates
feature described in Chapter 31, “Encryption Keys” on page 693 and
Chapter 32, “PKI Certificates and SSL” on page 719. 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 11, “File Downloads and Uploads” on page
205.
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,
refer to “Deleting an Encryption Key” on page 709.
Some AT-9400 Series switch models also contain a compact flash card
slot.The AT-S63 management software supports file system operations on
compact flash cards used in these systems including copying files from
flash memory to the compact flash card and vice versa.
File Naming
Conventions
The flash memory file system is a flat file system—directories are not
supported. However, directories are supported on compact flash cards. In
both types of storage, files are uniquely identified by a file name in the
