Where the following is true:
●
memorycard
—Specifies the removable external compact flash memory card. (This parameter is
available only on modular switches.)
●
old-name
—Specifies the current name of the configuration or policy file.
●
new-name
—Specifies the new name of the configuration or policy file.
Configuration files have a .cfg file extension; policy files have a .pol file extension.
When you rename a file, make sure the renamed file uses the same file extension as the original file. If
you change the file extensions, the file may be unrecognized by the system. For example, if you have an
existing configuration file named
test.cfg , the new filename must include the .cfg file extension.
When you rename a file on the switch, a message similar to the following appears:
Rename config test.cfg to config megtest.cfg on switch? (y/n)
Enter
y
to rename the file on your system. Enter
n
to cancel this process and keep the existing filename.
Modular Switches Only
This command also replicates the action from the primary MSM to the backup MSM. For example, if
you rename a file on the primary MSM, the same file on the backup MSM is renamed.
For the
memorycard
option, this command can move files between the external memory card and the
switch. If you use the
memorycard
option for both the
old-name
and the
new-name
, this command only
renames a file on the external memory card.
Examples
The following example renames the configuration file named Test.cfg to Final.cfg :
mv Test.cfg Final.cfg
On a modular switch, the following command moves the configuration file named test1.cfg from the
switch to the external memory card:
mv test1.cfg memorycard test1.cfg
Copying Files on the Switch
The copy function allows you to make a copy of an existing file before you alter or edit the file. By
making a copy, you can easily go back to the original file if needed.
To copy an existing configuration or policy file on your switch, use the following command:
cp {memorycard} <old-name> {memorycard} <new-name>
Where the following is true:
●
memorycard
—Specifies the removable external compact flash memory card. (This parameter is
available only on modular switches.)
●
old-name
—Specifies the name of the configuration or policy file that you want to copy.
●
new-name
—Specifies the name of the copied configuration or policy file.
