D-Link DWS-1008 User Manual
In this example, the switch is running software version 4.1.0.65. The switch used the 040100.020 image
file in boot partition boot1 and the configuration configuration file for the most recent reboot. The switch
is set to use image file 040100.020 in boot partition boot1 and configuration file configuration for the
next reboot. If MSS cannot read the configuration file when the switch is booted, then the configuration
file backup.cfg is used instead.
Each time the switch successfully loads an MSS software image, a reference to this image is saved as
the “safe boot” image. If the MSS software cannot be loaded the next time the switch is booted, then the
switch automatically attempts to load the safe boot image.
Boot failover might occur when an image update is attempted, and the update process fails. For example,
with image A loaded on the switch, you can configure the switch to load image B the next time the switch
is booted.
When the switch is reset, if image B fails to load, the switch then attempts to load image A (the last
image successfully loaded on the switch).
Working with Files
The following section describe how to manage files stored on the switch.
Displaying a List of Files
Files are stored on a DWS-1008 switch in the following areas:
•
File—Contains configuration files
•
Boot—Contains system image files
•
Temporary—Contains log files and other files created by MSS
The file and boot areas are in nonvolatile storage. Files in nonvolatile storage remain in storage following
a software reload or power cycle. The files in the temporary area are removed following a software
reload or power cycle.
The boot area is divided into two partitions,
boot0
and
boot1
. Each partition can contain one system
image file. The file area can contain subdirectories. Subdirectory names are indicated by a forward
slash at the end of the name. In the following example, dangdir and old are subdirectories.
