Alcatel Carrier Internetworking Solutions Switch/Router Manuale Utente

Page 7-1

Depending on the model type and configuration, an Alcatel switch has anywhere from 8 or 
16 

MB

 of usable flash memory. This memory is used to store files, including executable files 

(used to operate switching modules), configuration files, and switch usage log files. Through 
the User Interface (

UI

), you can load, copy, and delete any of these files types. In addition, 

the 

UI

 has commands for displaying, creating, and editing 

ASCII

 (text-based) files.

All commands described in this chapter will work with files located in the 

 directory on 

either the primary or secondary 

MPX

. However, these commands work only with the files that 

reside on the 

MPX

 to which you are connected. See Chapter 6, “Configuring Management 

Processor Modules,” for more information on commands for working with redundant 

MPXs.

UI

 commands for file maintenance are grouped into two menus: the File menu and System 

menu. File menu commands are listed below. For a list of System menu commands, see 
System Menu on page 7-13.

The File menu contains commands for loading, listing, copying, and deleting individual 
switch files. To access the File menu, enter

at the 

UI

 prompt. 

If verbose mode is enabled, the following list of commands will be displayed automatically. 

If verbose mode is disabled, press the question mark (

) to display the following list of 

commands. (For information on enabling verbose mode, refer to the 

 command descrip-

tion in Chapter 4, “The User Interface.”)

All commands in the File menu, except for the 

 and 

 commands, are described in the 

following sections. For instructions on using the 

 and 

 commands, refer to Chapter 5, 

“Installing Switch Software.”
