File System Overview
The AT-S63 management software has a file system for storing system
files. You can view the file system, as well as copy, rename, and delete
files. The following file types are supported by the AT-S63 file system:
❑ Boot 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 172.
Public encryption keys, public certificates, and certificate enrollment
request files are related to the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificates
feature described in Chapter 26, ”Encryption Keys” on page 547 and
Chapter 27, ”PKI Certificates and SSL” on page 573. 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
185.
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 563.
In addition, do not use the file system to store the switch’s AT-S63
image file.
File Naming
Conventions
The file system is a flat file system which means directories are not
supported. Files are uniquely identified by a file name in the following
format:
filename.ext
