OmniSwitch 6600 Family Switch Management Guide

The directory commands are applied to the switch file system and to files contained within the file system. 
When you first enter the flash directory, your login is located at the top of the directory tree. You may 
navigate within this directory by using the 

 and 

 commands (discussed below). The location of your 

login within the directory structure is called your current directory. You need to observe your login 
location because when you issue a command, that command applies only to directories and files in your 
current directory unless another path is specified.

The following drawing is a logical representation of the file directory shown in the illustration on 

.

Use the 

 command to display the path to your current directory. When you first log into the switch, 

your current directory is the flash directory. If you enter the 

 command, the following will display.

-> pwd

/flash

->

The display shows the name of the current directory and its path. If your current directory is the certified 
directory and you enter the 

 command, the following will display.

-> pwd

/flash/certified

->

The display shows the path to your current directory.
