Synopsis firmware restore

Operands None

Defaults None

Command Modes Privileged EXEC mode

Description Use this command to restore the previously active firmware image. You can run this command only

if auto-commit mode was disabled during the firmware download. After a firmware download and a

reboot (with auto-commit mode disabled), the downloaded firmware becomes active. If you do not

want to commit the firmware, use the firmware restore command.

This command reboots the system and reactivates the previous firmware. After reboot, all primary

and secondary partitions restore the previous firmware image.

This command causes the node to boot up with its older firmware. Later, the image in the primary

partition is automatically committed to the secondary partition.

Usage Guidelines This command is supported only on the local management module.

The firmware download command must have been run with the nocommit parameter for the

firmware restore operation to succeed.

Examples To restore the previous firmware:

switch# firmware restore

Restore old image to be active ...

Restore both primary and secondary image after reboot.

The system is going down for reboot NOW !!
