Managing flash files
Brocade Network OS provides a set of tools for removing, renaming, and displaying files you create in
the switch flash memory. You can use the display commands with any file, including the system
configuration files. The rename and delete commands only apply to copies of configuration files you
create in the flash memory. You cannot rename or delete any of the system configuration files.
