Files and Directories

May 2007

How can I tell which directory the switch is 
currently using?

When you first boot the switch, the 

/flash/working

 directory is 

used; this allows you to save your initial configuration changes 
to the 

boot.cfg

 file. However, subsequent boots may result in 

your switch running from the 

/flash/certified

 directory. There-

fore, verifying the current running directory is a key step any 
time you are configuring or monitoring the switch.

View the current directory by entering the 

show running-

directory

 command. For example:

-> show running-directory

CONFIGURATION STATUS

Running CMM              : PRIMARY,

CMM Mode                 : DUAL CMMs,

Current CMM Slot         : A,

Running configuration    : WORKING,

Certify/Restore Status   : CERTIFY NEEDED

SYNCHRONIZATION STATUS

Flash Between CMMs       : NOT SYNCHRONIZED,

Running Configuration    : SYNCHRONIZED,

NIs Reload On Takeover   : ALL NIs

In this example, the switch is using the 

/flash/working

 direc-

tory.

Can I save changes to the Certified directory?

No. The 

/flash/certified

 directory is intended to store only 

tested, reliable configuration and image files. Configuration 
changes must be saved to the 

boot.cfg

 file in the 

/flash/working

 directory. Once those changes have been road-

tested, the contents of the 

/flash/working

 directory can be 

copied to the 

/flash/certified

 directory via the 

copy working 

certified

 command.

What happens when the switch boots?

During the boot process, the switch compares the contents of 
the 

/flash/working

 and 

/flash/certified

 directories. Based on 

this comparison, the switch determines which directory to use 
as its running software.

Working and Certified Are Identical

If the software in the 

/flash/working

 and 

/flash/certified

 

directories is identical, the switch considers the software in 
both directories to be equally reliable. In this case, the switch 
will run from the 

/flash/working

 directory.

When the switch is running from the 

/flash/working

 directory 

software, configuration changes can be saved via the 

write memory

 command.

The switch runs
from Working.
