Image and File Management Overview
What Files Can Be Managed?
PowerConnect M6220, M6348, M8024, and M8024-k switches maintain
several different types of files on the flash file system. Table 13-1 describes the
files that you can manage. The table also lists the type of action you can take
on the file, which is one or more of the following:
• Download the file to the switch from a remote system
• Upload the file from the switch to a remote system
• Copy the file from one location on the file system to another location
NOTE: For information about the Auto Configuration feature that enables the
switch to automatically upgrade the image or load a new configuration file during
the boot process, see Automatically Updating the Image and Configuration.
