Downloading switch software using USB

This procedure assumes that:

• A software version for the switch has been stored on a USB flash drive. (The latest software

file is typically available from the HP Switch Networking website at www.hp.com/networking/

support.)

• The USB device has been plugged into the switch's USB port.

Before you use the procedure:

• Determine the name of the software file stored on the USB flash drive (for example,

k0800.swi.)

• Decide whether the image will be installed in the primary or secondary flash.

Syntax

copy usb flash filename [ primary | secondary ]

This command automatically downloads a switch software file to primary or secondary flash. If

you do not specify the flash destination, the USB download defaults to primary flash.

Example

To copy a switch software file named k0800.swi from a USB device to primary flash:

1. Execute copy as shown below:

Figure 125 The command to copy switch software from USB

When the switch finishes copying the software file from the USB device, it displays this progress

message:

2. When the copy finishes, you must reboot the switch to implement the newly loaded software.

To do so, use one of the following commands
