Enter the shell as root:

user@switch> start shell user root
Password:
root@switch% 

Before inserting the USB device, perform the following:

root@% ls /dev/da*
/dev/da0 /dev/da0s1c /dev/da0s2a /dev/da0s3 /dev/da0s3e
/dev/da0s1 /dev/da0s1f /dev/da0s2c /dev/da0s3c
/dev/da0s1a /dev/da0s2 /dev/da0s2f /dev/da0s3d

Insert the USB drive in the USB port. The following output will be displayed:

root@% umass1: TOSHIBA TransMemory, rev 2.00/1.00, addr 3
da2 at umass-sim1 bus 1 target 0 lun 0
da2: <TOSHIBA TransMemory 5.00> Removable Direct Access SCSI-0 device 
da2: 40.000MB/s transfers
da2: 983MB (2013184 512 byte sectors: 64H 32S/T 983C)

root@% ls /dev/da*
/dev/da0 /dev/da0s1c /dev/da0s2a /dev/da0s3 /dev/da0s3e
/dev/da0s1 /dev/da0s1f /dev/da0s2c /dev/da0s3c /dev/da2
/dev/da0s1a /dev/da0s2 /dev/da0s2f /dev/da0s3d /dev/da2s1

Note: '/dev/da2s1' is the USB drive. Create a directory for the USB drive to mount to:

root@% mkdir /var/tmp/usb

. Mount the USB drive to the /var/tmp/usb directory:

root@% mount_msdosfs /dev/da2s1 /var/tmp/usb
root@% ls /var/tmp/usb
images.tgz

Note: 'ls /var/tmp/usb' will show all the files in the USB drive. For QFX use the following command to mount

root@% mount -t msdos /dev/da2s1 /var/tmp/usb
root@% ls /var/tmp/usb
images.tgz
Copy any of the USB files to the /var/tmp/usb directory:
root@% cp /var/tmp/usb/images.tgz /var/tmp
root@% ls /var/tmp
images.tgz

The images.tgz file from the USB is successfully copied to the /var/tmp directory. Now unmount the USB drive after the file is completely copied:

root@% umount /var/tmp/usb
root@% umass1: at uhub0 port 1 (addr 3) disconnected
(da1:umass-sim1:1:0:0): lost device
(da1:umass-sim1:1:0:0): removing device entry
umass1: detached

Note: ​Ensure that the USB devices are unmounted properly before removing them from the router. For devices with multiple USBs, make sure that you unmount both devices.
