4. (Optional) Ensure that you have IP connectivity to the TFTP server by entering this

privileged EXEC command:

ping tftp-server-address

For more information about assigning an IP address and default gateway to the switch,

refer to the software configuration guide for this release.

5. Download the image file from the TFTP server to the switch. If you are installing the

same version of software that is currently on the switch, overwrite the current image by

entering this privileged EXEC command:

archive download-sw /overwrite /reload tftp:[[// location]/

directory]/image-name.tar

The /overwrite option overwrites the software image in flash memory with the

downloaded one.

The /reload option reloads the system after downloading the image unless the

configuration has been changed and not saved.

For //location, specify the IP address of the TFTP server.

For /directory/image-name.tar, specify the directory (optional) and the image to

download. Directory and image names are case sensitive.

This example shows how to download an image from a TFTP server at 198.30.20.19 and

to overwrite the image on the switch:

Switch# archive download-sw /overwrite tftp://198.30.20.19/cgesm-

i6l2-tar.122-25.SE1.tar

You also can download the image file from the TFTP server to the switch and keep the

current image by replacing the /overwrite option with the /leave-old-sw option.
