CLI: Switch-To-Switch Downloads
You can download an OS image between two Switch 4108GLs connected on
your LAN by initiating a
copy tftp command from the destination switch.The
options for this CLI feature include:
■ Copy from primary flash in the source to either primary or secondary in
the destination.
■ Copy from either primary or secondary flash in the source to either
primary or secondary flash in the destination.
Downloading from Primary Only. This command (executed in the destina-
tion switch) downloads the OS flash in the source switch’s primary flash to
either the primary or secondary flash in the destination switch.
Syntax: copy tftp flash <ip-addr> flash [primary | secondary]
If you do not specify either a primary or secondary flash location for the
destination, the download automatically goes to primary flash.
For example, to download an OS file from primary flash in a Switch 4108GL
with an IP address of 10.28.227.103 to the primary flash in the destination
switch, you would execute the following command in the destination switch’s
CLI:
Figure A-4. Switch-To-Switch, from Primary in Source to Either Flash in Destination
Downloading from Either Flash in the Source Switch to Either Flash
in the Destination Switch.
This command (executed in the destination
switch) gives you the most options for downloading between switches.
Syntax: copy tftp flash <ip-addr> </os/primary> | </os/secondary>
[primary | secondary]
