Using CLI Functions and Tools

The CLI has been designed to manage the switch’s configuration file system

and to manage switch security. A number of resident tools exist to support

these and other functions.

Configuration Management

All managed systems have software images and databases that must be

configured, backed up and restored. Two software images may be stored on

the system, but only one of them is active. The other one is a backup image.

The same is true for configuration images, which store the configuration

parameters for the switch. The system has three configuration images. One

image is a memory-only image and is the current configuration image for the

switch. The second image is the one that is loaded by the system when it

reboots. There is one backup configuration image. The system also provides

methods to back up these images to a remote system.

File System Commands

All files are stored in a flat file system. The commands shown in Table 2-6 are

used to perform operations on these files.
