IMPORTANT: ·     Before managing storage media, files, and directories, make sure you know the possible impacts. ·     A file or directory whose name starts with a period (.) is considered a hidden file or directory. Do not give a common file or directory a name that starts with a period. ·     Some system files and directories are hidden.

 

A file name must be specified in one of the file name formats allowed. For more information, see Fundamentals Configuration Guide.

Before you use the copy, delete, fixdisk, format, gunzip, gzip, mkdir, move, rename, rmdir, or undelete command on a USB disk, make sure the disk is not write protected.

The device supports the FIPS mode that complies with NIST FIPS 140-2 requirements. Support for features, commands, and parameters might differ in FIPS mode and non-FIPS mode. For more information about FIPS mode, see Security Configuration Guide.

copy

Use copy to copy a file.

Syntax

In non-FIPS mode:

copy fileurl-source fileurl-dest [ vpn-instance vpn-instance-name ] [ source interface interface-type interface-number ]

In FIPS mode:

copy fileurl-source fileurl-dest

Views

User view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

mdc-admin

Parameters

fileurl-source: Specifies the name or URL of the file to be copied in non-FIPS mode, and specifies the name of the file to be copied in FIPS mode. If the file resides on an FTP or TFTP server rather than on the device, specify the URL of the file. Whether a URL is case sensitive depends on the server.

fileurl-dest: Specifies the name or URL of the destination file or directory in non-FIPS mode, and specifies the name of the destination file or directory in FIPS mode. To copy the source file to an FTP or TFTP server, specify a URL. If you specify a directory, the device copies the specified file to the directory and saves it with its original file name. Whether a URL is case sensitive depends on the server.

vpn-instance vpn-instance-name: Specifies the VPN instance to which the destination FTP or TFTP server belongs. The vpn-instance-name argument is a case-sensitive string of 1 to 31 characters. If the server belongs to the public network, do not specify this option.

source interface interface-type interface-number: Specifies the source interface used to connect to the server. After you specify the source interface, the device uses the primary IP address of the source interface as the source IP address for outgoing packets. If you do not specify this option, the device uses the outgoing interface as the source interface.

Usage guidelines

In non-FIPS mode, you can use the copy command to perform the following tasks:

·     Copy a local file and save it locally.

·     Copy a local file and save it to an FTP or TFTP server.

·     Copy a file on an FTP or TFTP server and save it locally.

To specify a file or directory, use the following guidelines:

 

Location	Name format	Remarks
On the device	Use the file name guidelines in Fundamentals Configuration Guide.	N/A
On an FTP server	Enter the URL in the format of ftp://FTP username[:password]@server address[:port number]/file path[/file name].	The username and password must be the same as those configured on the FTP server. If the server authenticates users only by the username, you are not required to enter the password. For example, to use the username 1 and password 1 and specify the startup.cfg file in the authorized working directory on FTP server 1.1.1.1, enter ftp://1:[email protected]/startup.cfg. To specify an IPv6 address, enclose the IPv6 address in square brackets ([ ]), for example, ftp://test:test@[2001::1]:21/test.cfg.
On a TFTP server	Enter the URL in the format of tftp://server address[:port number]/file path[/file name].	For example, to specify the startup.cfg file in the working directory on TFTP server 1.1.1.1, enter the URL tftp://1.1.1.1/startup.cfg. To enter an IPv6 address, enclose the IPv6 address in square brackets ([ ]), for example, ftp://test:test@[2001::1]:21/test.cfg.

 

In FIPS mode, you can only use the copy command to copy a local file and save it locally.

delete

Use delete to delete a file.

Syntax

delete [ /unreserved ] file-url

Views

User view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

mdc-admin

Parameters

/unreserved: Permanently deletes the specified file. If you do not specify this keyword, the command moves the file to the recycle bin.

file-url: Specifies the name of the file to be deleted. Asterisks (*) are acceptable as wildcards. For example, to remove files with the .txt extension in the current directory, enter delete *.txt.

Usage guidelines

Use the delete /unreserved file-url command with caution. You cannot restore a file that was deleted with this command.

The delete file-url command (without /unreserved) moves the specified file to the recycle bin, except in the following two situations, where the file is permanently deleted:

·     The device is running out of storage space.

·     You are logged in to the default MDC and are using this command to delete a file from a non-default MDC.

A file moved to the recycle bin can be restored by using the undelete command.

Do not use the delete command to delete files from the recycle bin. To delete files from the recycle bin, use the reset recycle-bin command.

If you delete two files that have the same name but reside in different directories, both files are retained in the recycle bin. If you successively delete two files that have the same name from the same directory, only the file deleted last is retained in the recycle bin.

fdisk

Use fdisk to partition a storage medium.

Syntax

fdisk medium-name [ partition-number ]

Views

User view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Parameters

medium-name: Specifies the name of the storage medium to be partitioned.

partition-number: Specifies the number of partitions, in the range of 1 to 4.

Usage guidelines

The Flash cannot be partitioned. A partition cannot be partitioned.

This command is supported only on the default MDC.

If the partition-number argument is specified, the storage medium is divided into the specified number of partitions. To partition a storage medium in an interactive way, do not specify the argument.

The specified partition size and the actual partition size might have an error less than 5% of the total memory.

Before partitioning a CF card or USB disk, perform the following tasks:

·     Back up the files in the storage medium. The partition operation clears all data in the medium.

·     If you are partitioning a USB disk, make sure the disk is not write protected. Otherwise, the partition operation will fail, and you must remount or reinstall the disk to restore access to the USB disk.

·     Make sure no other users are accessing the medium. Otherwise, the partition operation fails.

Examples

# Divide the CF card on the device evenly into three partitions in simple mode.

<Sysname> fdisk cfa: 3

mount

Use mount to mount a hot swappable storage medium.

Syntax

mount medium-name

Default

A storage medium is automatically mounted and in mounted state after being connected to the device, and you can use it without mounting it.

Views

User view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Parameters

medium-name: Specifies the name of a storage medium.

Usage guidelines

This command is supported only on the default MDC.

To avoid file system corruption, do not perform the following tasks while the system is mounting a storage medium:

·     Install or remove storage media or cards.

·     Perform an active/standby switchover. (In standalone mode.)

·     Perform a switchover between the global active MPU and a global standby MPU.

·     Create, delete, start, or stop an MDC.

To mount a partitioned storage medium, you must mount all the partitions individually, instead of mounting the CF card as a whole.

Examples

# (In standalone mode.) Mount a CF card on the active MPU.

<Sysname> mount cfa0:

# (In standalone mode.) Mount a CF card on the standby MPU (in slot 1).

<Sysname> mount slot1#cfa0:

# (In IRF mode.) Mount a CF card on the master.

<Sysname> mount cfa0:

# (In IRF mode.) Mount a CF card on the MPU that resides in slot 1 of member device 2.

reset recycle-bin

Use reset recycle-bin to delete files from the recycle bin.

Syntax

reset recycle-bin [ /force ]

Views

User view

Parameters

/force: Deletes all files in the recycle bin without prompting for confirmation. If you do not specify this option, the command prompts you to confirm the deletion.

Usage guidelines

The delete file-url command only moves a file to the recycle bin. To permanently delete the file, use the reset recycle-bin command to clear the recycle bin.

If a file is corrupted, you might not be able to delete the file by using the reset recycle-bin command. In this case, use the reset recycle-bin /force command.

Examples

# Empty the recycle bin. (In this example there are two files in the recycle bin.)

<Sysname> reset recycle-bin

Clear flash:/a.cfg?[Y/N]:y

Clearing file flash:/a.cfg... Done.

Clear flash:/b.cfg?[Y/N]:y

Clearing file flash:/b.cfg... Done.

# Delete the b.cfg file from the recycle bin. (In this example there are two files in the recycle bin.)

A storage medium is automatically mounted and placed in mounted state.

Views

User view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Parameters

medium-name: Specifies the name of a storage medium.

Usage guidelines

This command is supported only on the default MDC.

Before removing a mounted storage medium from the system, unmount the medium to avoid medium damage.

Before unmounting a storage medium, make sure no other users are accessing the medium. Otherwise, the unmount operation fails.

When a storage medium is connected to a lower version system, the system might not be able to automatically recognize the device. In this case, you must first execute the mount command for the storage medium to operate correctly.

To avoid file system corruption, do not perform the following tasks while the system is unmounting a storage medium:

·     Install or remove storage media or cards.

·     Perform an active/standby switchover. (In standalone mode.)

·     Perform a switchover between the global active MPU and a global standby MPU.

·     Create, delete, start, or stop an MDC.

Examples

# (In standalone mode.) Unmount a CF card from the active MPU.

<Sysname> umount cfa0:

# (In standalone mode.) Unmount a CF card from the standby MPU (in slot 5).

<Sysname> umount slot5#cfa0:

# (In IRF mode.) Unmount a CF card from the global active MPU.

<Sysname> umount cfa0:

# (In IRF mode.) Unmount a CF card from the global standby MPU that resides in slot 5 of member device 2.
