Applying Pre-existing CLI Configuration Files
Important
[local]
The following command deletes an empty directory named configs in the /flash directory.
[local]
Formatting Local Devices
The format command performs a low-level format of a local device. This operation formats the device to use
the FAT16 formatting method, which is required for proper read/write functionality with the operating system.
Important
The filesystem format command removes all files and information stored on the device.
Caution
To format a local device for use by the local file system, enter the following command:
[local]
Applying Pre-existing CLI Configuration Files
A pre-existing CLI configuration file is any .cfg file created to provide utility functions (such as clearing all
statistics during testing) or created off-line using a text editor. There may be pre-existing configuration files
stored on the local file system that can be applied to a running system at any time.
If a configuration file is applied to a system currently running another CLI configuration, any like contexts,
Caution
services, logical interfaces, physical ports, IP address pools, or other configured items will be overwritten
if the same command exists in the configuration file being applied. Take caution to ensure that you are
knowledgeable of the contents of the file being applied and understand what the service ramifications are
if a currently running command is overwritten. Also note that changes will not be saved automatically.
A CLI configuration file, or script containing CLI commands, can be applied to a running system by entering
the following command at the Exec mode prompt:
[local]
url specifies the location of the CLI configuration file to be applied. It may refer to a local or a remote file.

The directory you want to remove (delete) must be empty before executing the rmdir command. If the
directory is not empty, the CLI displays a "Directory not empty" message and will not execute.
host_name
rmdir url /dir_name
#
host_name
rmdir /flash/configs

Local devices that have been formatted using other methods such as NTFS or FAT32 may be used to store
various operating system, CLI configuration, and crash log files. However, when placing a new local
device into the MIO/UMIO/MIO2 for regular use, you should format the device via the system prior to
use. This ensures that the proper file allocation table format is used, preventing any possible discrepancies
between other formats used with other operating systems.
