Nortel WLAN—Security Switch 2300 Series Configuration Guide
Managing system files
A WLAN—Security Switch (WSS) contains nonvolatile storage. WSS Software allows you to manage the files in
nonvolatile storage. In addition, you can copy files between the WSS and a TFTP server on the network.
About system files
Generally, a WSS’s nonvolatile storage contains the following types of files:
• System image files—The operating system software for the WSS and its attached APs
• Configuration files—CLI commands that configure the WSS and its attached APs
• System log files—Files containing log entries generated by WSS Software.
When you power on or reset the WSS or reboot the software, the switch loads a designated system image, then loads
configuration information from a designated configuration file.
A WSS can also contain temporary files with trace information used for troubleshooting. Temporary files are not stored
in nonvolatile memory, but are listed when you display a directory of the files on the switch.
