Command Line Interface (CLI).

Before upgrading the software to your Switch from the CLI, it is

enough space to download the new files. 

1 To check the contents of the flash, logon to your Switch either via a telnet 

connection or directly via the console to display the User View in the CLI 
and enter the following:

A file list similar to the following is displayed:

Directory of unit1>flash:/

15367 KB total (10215 KB free)

fabric by entering:

The file list should contain one of each file type (.zip, .def, .cfg 
and .app). 

3 Any additional files should be considered for deletion to allow maximum 

space for downloading the new files. To delete a file from the list enter:

delete/unreserved unit1>flash:/filename
