Managing the Directory Structure
(Non-Redundant)
The following sections define commands that allow the user to manipulate the files in the directory struc-
ture of a single OmniSwitch 6600 Family switch.
Note. All of the commands described in the following sections work on a switch in a stack with a redun-
dancy enabled. However, there may be special circumstances that apply when modifying parameters on a
switch in a stack that do not apply to a single switch. Redundant command usage is covered in “Managing
Redundancy in a Stack” on page 4-24. See the OmniSwitch 6600 Family Hardware Users Guide for more
information on switch redundancy.
Rebooting the Switch
When booting the switch, the software in the certified directory is loaded into the RAM memory of the
switch and used as a running configuration, as shown:
The certified directory software should be the best, most reliable versions of both the image files and the
boot.cfg file (configuration file). The switch will run from the certified directory after boot if the working
and certified directories are not exactly the same. If they are the same, then the switch will run from the
working directory, allowing changes made to the running configuration to be saved. If the switch is
running from the certified directory, you cannot save any changes to the running configuration, or copy
files between the directories.
