File Attribute Configuration 439
File Attribute
Configuration
You can assign the main/backup attribute to a file so as to use this file as the
main/backup startup file upon next startup of switch, check the main and backup
files, and toggle between the main and backup attributes of file.
You can use an App, BootROM, or Web file on one unit in the fabric to update all
other units in the fabric. You can easily update the key software (including App,
BootROM and Web) on the whole fabric through CLI (command line interface).
Perform the following operations in user view (among which, the display commands
can be executed in any view).
You can assign the main/backup attribute to a file on the whole fabric only when the
file exists in all the switches of the fabric.
The assignment of the main or backup attribute to a Web file takes effect
immediately without the need of restarting the switches.
Currently, the configuration files use .cfg as the extension names, and are stored in
the root directory of the storage.
