The software download process automatically completes without user
intervention. The process erases the contents of flash memory and replaces
it with a new software image. Take care not to interrupt the download
process until after it runs to completion (the process can take up to 10
minutes, depending on network conditions).
When the download process is complete, the switch automatically resets
and the new software image initiates a self-test. The system returns a
message after successfully downloading a new image.
Figure 86 "download message" (page 231) shows a sample output of the
download command.
