To validate the software image on the ash drive after the image is transferred to the system, but before you install the image, use the

verify {md5 | sha256} [ flash://]img-file [hash-value] command in EXEC mode.

• md5: MD5 message-digest algorithm

• sha256: SHA256 Secure Hash Algorithm

• flash: (Optional) Species the ash drive. The default uses the ash drive. You can enter the image le name.

• hash-value: (Optional). Specify the relevant hash published on iSupport.

• img-file: Enter the name of the Dell Networking software image le to validate

Using HTTP for File Transfers

Stating with Release 9.3(0.1), you can use HTTP to copy les or conguration details to a remote server. To transfer les to an external

server, use the copy source-le-url http://host[:port]/le-path command.

Enter the following source-le-url keywords and information:

• To copy a le from the internal FLASH, enter ash:// followed by the lename.

• To copy the running conguration, enter the keyword running-cong.

• To copy the startup conguration, enter the keyword startup-cong.

• To copy a le on the USB device, enter usbash:// followed by the lename.

In the Dell Networking OS release 9.8(0.0), HTTP services support the VRF-aware functionality. If you want the HTTP server to use a VRF

table that is attached to an interface, congure that HTTP server to use a specic routing table. You can use the ip http vrf command

to inform the HTTP server to use a specic routing table. After you congure this setting, the VRF table is used to look up the destination

address.

NOTE

: To enable HTTP to be VRF-aware, as a prerequisite you must rst dene the

VRF.

You can specify either the management VRF or a nondefault VRF to

congure the VRF awareness setting.

When you specify the management VRF, the copy operation that is used to transfer les to and from an HTTP server utilizes the VRF table

corresponding to the Management VRF to look up the destination. When you specify a nondefault VRF, the VRF table corresponding to

that nondefault VRF is used to look up the HTTP server.
