Managing Configuration Files

Configuration files can be copied, deleted, or renamed in the system, but system files should not be deleted.

The L2/L3 configuration is stored in /pica/config/pica_startup.boot.

admin@XorPlus$
admin@XorPlus$cd /pica/config/
admin@XorPlus$ls
admin  pica.conf  pica.conf.01  pica.conf.02  pica.conf.03  pica.conf.04  pica.conf.05  pica_startup.boot root

User can display the files of a specified directory:
