Parameters
file file-url: Specifies the file path, a string of 1 to 63 characters. If you enter a relative path, the system
automatically converts it to an absolute path. The absolute path can contain up to 63 characters. The file
name uses the drive:/file-name format or the file-name format, where:
• The drive argument specifies the storage medium where the file is saved. The value for the drive
argument is flash0 or cfa0, depending on the device model.
• The file-name argument specifies the file name, which typically uses the .bin extension.
main: Specifies the file as the main system software image. The main system software image has higher
priority than the backup system software image at startup.
backup: Specifies the file as the backup system software image. The backup system software image is
used at startup only if the main system software image is unavailable.
