NOTE: · The storage medium type available with your device can be flash, CF card, or some other types depending on your device model. For more information, see About the WX Series Access Controllers Configuration Guides. · In the following examples, the current working directory is the root directory of the storage medium on the device. · For the qualified filename formats, see Fundamentals Configuration Guide. |
cd
Syntax
cd { directory | .. | / }
View
User view
Default level
3: Manage level
Parameters
directory: Name of the target directory, in the format of [drive:/]path. For the detailed introduction to the drive and path arguments, see Fundamentals Configuration Guide. If no drive information is provided, the argument represents a folder or subfolder in the current directory.
..: Returns to an upper directory. If the current working directory is the root directory, or if no upper directory exists, the current working directory does not change when the cd .. command is executed. This argument does not support command online help.
/: Returns to the root directory of the storage medium. This keyword does not support command line online help.
Description
Use cd to change the current working directory.
Examples
# Enter the test folder after logging in to the device.
<Sysname> cd test
# Return to the upper directory. (A space is required after the keyword cd.)
<Sysname> cd ..
# Return to the root directory.
<Sysname> cd /
After you change the current directory using the cd command, you can use the pwd command to view the path of the current working directory.
copy
Syntax
copy fileurl-source fileurl-dest
View
User view
Default level
3: Manage level
Parameters
fileurl-source: Name of the source file.
fileurl-dest: Name of the target file or folder.
Description
Use copy to copy a file.
If you specify a target folder, the system will copy the file to the specified folder and use the name of the source file as the file name.
Examples
# Copy file testcfg.cfg in the current folder and save it as testbackup.cfg.
<Sysname> copy testcfg.cfg testbackup.cfg
Copy cfa0:/test.cfg to cfa0:/testbackup.cfg?[Y/N]:y
....
%Copy file cfa0:/test.cfg to cfa0:/testbackup.cfg...Done.
# Copy file 1.cfg in the test folder on the CF card to the testbackup folder in the first partition of the CF card, and save it as 1backup.cfg.
<Sysname> copy cfa0:/test/1.cfg cfa0:/testbackup/1backup.cfg
Copy cfa0:/test/1.cfg to cfa0:/testbackup/1backup.cfg?[Y/N]:y
%Copy file cfa0:/test/1.cfg to cfa0:/testbackup/1backup.cfg...Done.
crypto-digest
Syntax
crypto-digest sha256 file file-url
View
User view
Default level
2: System level
Parameters
sha256: Specifies the SHA-256 algorithm.
file file-url: Name of a file.
Description
Use crypto-digest to compute the digest of a specified file.
The computed digest is used to verify the correctness and integrity of the file to prevent the file from being tampered with. For example, you can use the command to compute the digest of the software image file of a device, and compare the digest with that on the web site of the device vendor to verify whether the file is valid.
Examples
# Use the SHA-256 algorithm to compute the digest of the file 1.cfg.
<Sysname> crypto-digest sha256 file 1.cfg
Computing digest...
SHA256 digest(1.cfg)=

/unreserved: Permanently deletes the specified file, and the deleted file can never be restored.
file-url: Name of the file to be deleted. Asterisks (*) are acceptable as wildcards. For example, to remove files with the extension of .txt in the current directory, you may use the delete *.txt command.
Description
Use delete file-url to temporarily delete a file. The deleted file is saved in the recycle bin. To restore it, use the undelete command.

execute
Syntax
execute filename
View
System view
Default level
2: System level
Parameters
filename: Name of a batch file with a .bat extension. You can use the rename command to change the suffix of the configuration file to .bat to use it as a batch file.
Description
Use execute to execute the specified batch file.
Batch files are command line files. Executing a batch file is to execute a set of command lines in the file.
Do not include invisible characters in a batch file. If an invisible character is found during the execution, the batch process will abort and the commands that have been executed cannot be cancelled.
Not every command in a batch file is sure to be executed. For example, if a certain command is not correctly configured, the command will fail to be executed, and the system skips this command and goes to the next one.
The configuration generated after a batch file is executed will not be backed up to the standby main board automatically.
Each configuration command in a batch file must be a standard configuration command, meaning that the valid configuration information can be displayed with the display current-configuration command.
Examples
# Execute the batch file test.bat in the root directory.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] execute test.bat
file prompt
Syntax
file prompt { alert | quiet }
View
System view
Default level
3: Manage level
Parameters
alert: Enables the system to warn you about operations that may bring undesirable results such as file corruption or data loss.
quiet: Disables the system from warning you about any operation.
Description
Use file prompt to set a prompt mode for file operations.
By default, the prompt mode is alert, which is recommended to avoid mis-operations.
When the prompt mode is set to quiet, the system does not warn for any file operation.
Examples
# Set the file operation prompt mode to alert.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] file prompt alert
fixdisk
Syntax

View
User view
Default level
3: Manage level
Parameters
device: Storage medium name.
Description

Examples
# Restore the space of the CF card.
<Sysname> fixdisk cfa0:
%Fixdisk cfa0: completed.

View
User view
Default level
3: Manage level
Parameters

Description
Use format to format a storage medium.
|
|
CAUTION: Formatting a storage medium results in loss of all the files on the storage medium and these files cannot be restored. In particular, if a startup configuration file exists on a storage medium, formatting the storage medium results in loss of the startup configuration file. |
Examples
# Format the CF card using the FAT16 format.
<Sysname> format cfa0: FAT16

3: Manage level
Parameters
/force: Deletes all files in the recycle bin, including files that cannot be deleted by the command without the /force keyword.
Description
Use reset recycle-bin to permanently delete the files in the recycle bin in the current directory.
If a file is corrupted, you may not be able to delete the file using the reset recycle-bin command. Use the reset recycle-bin /force command to delete the corrupted file in the recycle bin forcibly.
The delete file-url command only moves a file to the recycle bin. To permanently delete the file in the recycle bin, use the reset recycle-bin command in the original directory of the file.
The reset recycle-bin command deletes files in the current directory and in the recycle bin. If the original path of the file to be deleted is not the current directory, use the cd command to enter the original directory of the file, and then execute the reset recycle-bin command.
