Parameters
file file-url: Specifies a file name, a string of 1 to 63 characters. If you enter a relative path here, the
system automatically converts it to an absolute path. The absolute path should contain no more than 63
characters; otherwise, the command cannot be successfully executed. The file name is in the format of
[drive:/]file-name, where
• The items in square brackets [ ] are optional.
• drive specifies the storage media of the file. The value is the name of the storage media. If a device
has only one storage media, you can execute this command without providing this argument.
• file-name specifies the filename, which is usually suffixed by .bin.
main: Specifies a file as the system software image. A main system software image is used to boot a
device.
backup: Specifies a file as a backup system software image. A backup system software image is used to
boot a device only when a main system software image is unavailable.

directory of the storage media.
