Using CLI Functions and Tools

The CLI has been designed to manage the switch's configuration file system
and to manage switch security. A number of resident tools exist to support
these and other functions.
Configuration Management
All managed systems have software images and databases that must be
configured, backed up and restored. Two software images may be stored on
the system, but only one of them is active. The other one is a backup image.
The same is true for configuration images, which store the configuration
parameters for the switch. The system has three configuration images. One
image is a memory-only image and is the current configuration image for the
switch. The second image is the one that is loaded by the system when it
reboots. There is one backup configuration image. The system also provides
methods to back up these images to a remote system.
File System Commands
All files are stored in a flat file system. The commands shown in Table 2-6 are
used to perform operations on these files.
