Warning about FLASH memory
Before you start to configure your switch, note that it is possible to enter
commands that can impact severely on your router’s performance.
DO NOT clear the FLASH memory completely. The software release files are
stored in FLASH, and clearing FLASH memory would leave no software to run
the switch.
While FLASH is compacting, do not restart the switch or use any commands
that affect the FLASH file subsystem. Do not restart the switch, or create, edit,
load, rename or delete any files until a message confirms that FLASH file
compaction is completed. Interrupting flash compaction may result in damage
to files. Damaged files are likely to prevent the switch from operating correctly.
For more information, see “How to Avoid Problems” on page 109 and “What to
Do if You Clear FLASH Memory Completely” on page 111.
