Use USB to transfer files to and from the switch

The switch's USB port (labeled as Aux Port) allows the use of a USB flash drive for copying configuration files to and from the switch.

Operating rules and restrictions:

• Unformatted USB flash drives must first be formatted on a PC (Windows FAT format.) For devices with multiple partitions, only the first partition is supported. Devices with secure partitions are not supported.

• If they already exist on the device, subdirectories are supported. When specifying a filename , you must enter either the individual file name (if at the root) or the full path name (for example, /subdir/filename.)

• To view the contents of a USB flash drive, use the dir command. This lists all files and directories at the root. To view the contents of a directory, you must specify the subdirectory name (that is, dir subdirectory.)

• The USB port supports a single USB device. USB hubs to add more ports are not supported.
