1. Execute copy as shown below:

Figure 122 Download command for an OS (switch software)

When the switch finishes downloading the software file from the server, it displays this progress

message:

Validating and Writing System Software to FLASH ...

2. When the download finishes, you must reboot the switch to implement the newly downloaded

software image. To do so, use one of the following commands:

Syntax

boot system flash [ primary | secondary ]

Boots from the selected flash.

Syntax

reload

Boots from the flash image and startup-config file. A switch covered in this guide (with multiple

configuration files), also uses the current startup-config file.

3. To confirm that the software downloaded correctly, execute show system and check the

Firmware revision line.

For information on primary and secondary flash memory and the boot commands, see the Basic

Operation Guide.

NOTE: If you use auto-tftp to download a new image in a redundant management system,

the active management module downloads the new image to both the active and standby modules.

Rebooting after the auto-tftp process completes reboots the entire system.

Enabling TFTP

TFTP is enabled by default on the switch. If TFTP operation has been disabled, you can re-enable

it by specifying TFTP client or server functionality with the following command.

Syntax

tftp [ client | server ]

Syntax

[ no ] tftp [ client | server [ listen oobm | data | both ]

]

Disables/re-enables TFTP for client or server functionality so that the switch can:

• Use TFTP client functionality to access TFTP servers in the network to receive

downloaded files.

• Use TFTP server functionality to upload files to other devices on the network.
