Usage Guidelines
You must have administrator privileges to issue this command.
Prior to downloading an image, you must place the new image in a Þle on a TFTP server on your
network. Unless you include a path with the Þlename, this command assumes that the Þle resides in the
same directory as the TFTP server itself.
The switch can store up to two images: a primary image and a secondary image. When you download a
new image, you can select into which image space (primary or secondary) you want the new image to
be placed. If you do not specify an image space, the switch uses the one that was selected with the
previous use image command.
Use of the hostname parameter requires that DNS be enabled.
Example
CAUTION
The following command downloads the switch software image from the TFTP server named
tftphost , from the file named file.ext , to the secondary image store:
download image tftphost ExtremewarePx_ssh_1.2.0b13 primary
