translation table which is synchronised with file contents in memory. For more
information about working with files see the Working With Files section,
Operation chapter, AR400 Series Router Software Reference.
To display the files in FLASH, use the command:
SHOW FILE
Table 3: Example output from the SHOW FILE command.
The Locks field indicates the number of concurrent processes using the file.
The switch automatically compacts FLASH memory when a maximum
threshold of deleted files is reached. Compaction frees space for new files by
discarding garbage. A message will appear when FLASH compaction has been
activated. Another message appears when FLASH compaction is complete.
While FLASH is compacting, do not restart the switch or use any commands
that affect the FLASH file subsystem. Do not restart the switch, or create, edit,
load, rename or delete any files until a message confirms that FLASH file
compaction is completed. Interrupting flash compaction may result in damage
to files.
Online CLI Help
Online help is available for all switch commands in the CLI. Typing a question
mark “?” at the end of a partially completed command displays a list of the
parameters that may follow the current command line, with the minimum
abbreviations in uppercase letters. The current command line is then re-
displayed, ready for further input.
An online help facility provides more detailed help information via the
command:
HELP [topic]
If a topic is not specified, a list of available topics is displayed. The HELP
command displays information from the system help file stored in FLASH
memory. The help file used by the HELP command must be defined using the
command:
SET HELP=helpfile
