Files and Directories

21

Image files (those files with .img extensions) contain an 
executable code that provides support for the system, Ethernet 
ports, and network functions. In other words, they serve as 
essential drivers for switch and network operations.

Although these files may be backed up to the root flash direc-
tory or any user-defined subdirectory, they must be present in 
the /flash/working and /flash/certified directories for the 
switch to operate and pass traffic.

If you delete all copies of an image file, you will be required to 
contact Alcatel-Lucent Customer Support for replacements. 
Therefore, it is recommended that you keep backup copies on 
your computer’s hard drive or a locally-accessible server.
