Working with PCMCIA files

When the PCMCIA reaches its limit, you have to make more room by deleting files. However, before deleting the files, you may want to copy them to another location. To copy PCMCIA files, select Edit > File System from the Device Manager menu bar. For more information on displaying and copying PCMCIA files, refer to Configuring Network Management.

How the Passport 8600 reports that there is no PCMCIA card present depends on whether or not the authentication or accounting time out occurred.

• If there is no PCMIA present and no authentication or accounting time out, the Passport 8600 prints an information and a warning message on the console such as,

bwA07-1:6# CPU6 [04/03/03 09:02:14] SW INFO PCMCIA card removed from Master CPU "bwA07-1" slot 6, Chassis S/N SSNM00009I bwA07-1:6# CPU6 [04/03/03 09:02:14] SNMP WARNING PCMCIA is removed, Logging resumes on DRAM

• If there is no PCMIA present, but there is an authentication or accounting time out, the Passport 8600 sends information and a warning messages to DRAM (not the console).
  To display these messages, enter the following command:

show log file tail

The switch displays messages such as,
