File System 
Configuration
File System Overview
The switch provides a file system module for user’s efficient management over the 
storage devices such as Flash memory. The file system offers file access and 
directory management, mainly including creating the file system, creating, 
deleting, modifying and renaming a file or a directory and opening a file.
By default, the file system needs user’s confirmation before executing the 
commands, such as deleting or overwriting a file, which may make losses.
Based on the operated objects, the file system operation can be divided as follows. 
The following sections describe the file system configuration tasks.
3Com Switch 8800 Family series switches (hereinafter referred to as Switch 8800 
Family series) support master/slave fabric switchover. The two modules both have 
a program system. The program user can operate the programs on both modules. 
When you specify the bootstrap APP program for use by the slave module at the 
next startup, make sure that the URL of the program starts with "slot[No.]#[flash: | 
cf:]/", where [No.] is the slave module number, and [flash: | cf:] is the name of the 
equipment, which can be a flash card of CR card. For example, if the slave module 
is on slot 1, the URL of 8500.app program on the slave module is 
"slot1#flash:/8500.app".
Directory Operation
The file system can be used to create or delete a directory, display the current 
working directory, and display the information about the files or directories under 
a specified directory. You can use the following commands to perform directory 
operations.
Perform the following configuration in user view.
