Nortel Secure Router 8000 Series
Configuration Guide - Basic Configuration
6.1 Introduction
This section describes the concepts that you need to know before you configure a file system:
• File system
• Storage devices
• Files
• Directories
6.1.1 File system
The file system manages the files and directories in the storage devices. It can create, delete,
modify, and rename a file or directory and display the contents of a file.
The file system has two functions: managing the storage devices and managing the files that
are stored in those storage devices.
6.1.2 Storage devices
Storage devices are hardware devices for storing messages. The storage device of the Secure
Router 8000 Series is flash memory.
CQ NOTE
SR8012 also can use the compact flash(CF)as the storage devices.
6.1.3 Files
A file is a mechanism by which the system stores and manages messages.
6.1.4 Directories
A directory is a mechanism by which the system integrates and organizes files. It is the logical
container of files.
6.2 Managing directories
6.2.1 Establishing the configuration task
Applicable environment
When you need to transfer files between the client and the server, use the file system to
configure the directory.
Preconfiguration tasks
Before you configure the file system, complete the following tasks:
• Power on the router.
• Connect the client with the server.
