Caution:
When you use the
delete
command without the
unreserved
option to delete a file, the
file is in fact saved in the recycle bin and still occupies some of the storage space. So,
the frequent uses of this command may results in insufficient storage space of the
Ethernet switch; in this case, you should find out the unused files kept in the recycle bin
and permanently delete them with the
reset recycle-bin
command to reclaim the
storage space.
Note:
The directory and file names on the switch have the following limitation:
z
The maximum length of a directory or file name is 64 characters.
z
The maximum length of a full path name (containing the device name, directory
name and file name) is 136 characters.
z
The
move
command takes effect only when the source and destination files are in
the same device.
