File System
The File System (FS) provides a single interface to all the file systems available on the devices,
including the Flash memory file systems and the Network file system (TFTP).
The Flash file system uses several commands to help the user manages the software image and the
configuration files. The Flash file system is a single flash-memory device on which the user can
store files. This flash-memory device is called
flash.
With FS, the user can view and classify all files (image files, text files, etc.). All image and
configuration files are stored as files on the system flash memory.
Overview
The FS is located on flash-memory and provides additional commands both for specifying the
image which will be executed and for setting different Loader parameters. The file system provides
options for downloading, deleting and copying files stored in flash memory. An option for
downloading several images to the flash-memory file system is provided. Different application
images can be executed. You can download configuration files and execute the one the user needs.
