(*) -with main attribute   (b) -with backup attribute 

(*b) -with both main and backup attribute 

The following two startup files support file attribute configuration: 

z 

Configuration files: A configuration file is used to store and restore configuration, with .cfg as the 

extension.  

z 

Web files: A Web file is used for Web-based network management, with .web as the extension. 

The configuration files and Web files support three kinds of attributes: main, backup and none, as 

. 

Table 1-1 Description on the file attributes 

main 

Identifies main startup files. 
The main startup file is used 
first for the device to start up.

In the flash memory, there can 
be only one configuration file 
and one Web file with the main 
attribute. 

(*) 

backup 

Identifies backup startup 
files. The backup startup file 
is used after the device fails 
to start up using the main 
startup file. 

In the flash memory, there can 
be only one configuration file 
and one Web file with the 
backup attribute. 

(b) 

none 

Identifies files that are 
neither of main attribute nor 
backup attribute. 

— None 

 

A file can have both the main and backup attributes. Files of this kind are labeled *b. 

 

Note that, there can be only one configuration file and one Web file with the main attribute in the flash 

memory. If a newly created file is configured to be with the main attribute, the existing file with the main 

attribute in the flash memory will lose its main attribute. This circumstance also applies to the file with 

the backup attribute in the flash memory. 

File operations and file attribute operations are independent. For example, if you delete a file with the 

main attribute from the flash memory, the other files in the flash memory will not possess the main
