System Files

Cisco 350, 350X and 550X Series Managed Switches, Firmware Release 2.4, ver 0.4
This section describes how system files are managed.
The following topics are covered:
• System Files
• Firmware Operations
• File Operations

• DHCP Auto Configuration/Image Update
System files are files that contain information, such as: configuration information or firmware
images.
Generally, every file under the flash://system/ folder is a system file.
Various actions can be performed with these files, such as: selecting the firmware file from
which the device boots, copying various types of configuration files internally on the device,
or copying files to or from an external device, such as an external server.
Configuration files on the device are defined by their type, and contain the settings and
parameter values for the device.
Other files on the device include firmware and log files, and are referred to as operational
files.
The configuration files are text files and can be edited in a text editor, such as Notepad after
they are copied to an external device, such as a PC.
