RAM Segment
The file system supports a fifth segment known as the RAM
segment. The RAM segment is similar to the other
segments, except the file contents are stored in RAM and
the segment’s contents are lost when you reboot the access
point.
The RAM segment is limited to a maximum of 4096 bytes.
It is used to hold small script files during the software
download process.
When you view the file directory, the program currently
executing displays as if it were in the RAM segment. This
program, however, is not really a part of the RAM segment.
You cannot delete or erase it, and TFTP commands cannot
read or write to it. It displays as part of the file directory so
you can determine which version of software is running.
Segment Names
You must enter a segment for most access point file system
commands. You can type the numeric digits (1, 2, 3, or 4)
corresponding to the respective file segments, or you can
use the following mnemonics (the access point translates
them to a segment number):
Mnemonic Description
AB Active boot segment.
IB Inactive boot segment.
AD Active data segment.
ID Inactive data segment.
RAM RAM segment.
