System files are files that contain configuration information, firmware images or
boot code.
Various actions can be performed with these files, such as: selecting the firmware
file from which the switch boots, copying various types of configuration files
internally on the switch, or copying files to or from an external device, such as an
external server.
The possible methods of file transfer are:
• Internal copy.
• HTTP/HTTPS that uses the facilities that the browser provides.
• TFTP client, requiring a TFTP server.
Configuration files on the switch are defined by their type, and contain the settings
and parameter values for the device.
