firmware download interactive
Allows the user to select firmware download parameters interactively before starting a firmware
download.
Synopsis firmware download interactive
Operands None
Defaults firmware download performs an auto-reboot and a subsequent auto-commit operation.
By default, firmware download downloads the firmware to the system, reboots the system, and
commits the firmware automatically.
Command Modes Privileged EXEC mode
Description Use this command to download firmware from an external host or from an attached USB device.
You can run this command interactively or provide the parameters on the command line.
The device components supported by this command have two partitions of nonvolatile storage
(primary and secondary) to store two firmware images. This command always downloads the new
image to the secondary partition and then swaps partitions, so the secondary partition becomes
the primary partition.
By default, the firmware download process reboots the system and activates the new image.
Finally, the process performs a firmware commit operation to copy the new image to the other
partition.
Usage Guidelines This command does not support pagination.
If the firmware download is interrupted because of an unexpected reboot as a result of a software
error or power failure, the command automatically recovers the corrupted secondary partition.
Wait for the recovery to complete before starting another firmware download.
