Virtual File System
WeOS keeps various files of interest for the operator:
❼ Configuration files: By default there is only one configuration file (named
config0.cfg stored on the switch. However, it is possible to create and keep
multiple configuration files on the switch, both for backup purposes of for
easy shifting between configuration setups. Configuration files are com-
monly named with the prefix config and will always have ’.cfg’ as extension.
As mentioned in
there are also three special configuration files:
– Running Configuration: The running configuration is only stored in RAM,
thus, it is not kept over a reboot.
– Startup Configuration: The startup config is mapped to one of the stored
configurations. By default it points to config0.cfg, but the mapping
can be changed (using the CLI ”copy” command as described in
– Factory Default Configuration: The factory default configuration file
cannot be modified (except through a firmware upgrade). Its available
for the purpose of conducting a factory reset.
❼ Log files: Events are logged in various log files, e.g.:
– auth.log
– kern.log
– messages
– mgmt.log
– snmpd
– ppp.log
For units equipped with a USB port, the operator is also able to access files on a
mounted USB stick.
The files are organised in a virtual file system, and are made available both for
local and remote access.
