Downloading firmware by using the default-config option
You can download firmware on a local switch and optionally change the VCS mode, the VCS ID, and
the RBridge ID before rebooting the switch with the new firmware.
To download firmware by using the default-config option with VCS mode 1, VCS ID 7, and RBridge 10,
use the following command:
sw0# firmware download default-config ftp host 10.20.1.3 user fvt password pray4green
directory dist file release.plist vcs-mode 1 vcs-id 7 rbridge-id 10
Performing system sanity check...
This command will set the configuration to default and set the following parameters:
vcs-mode, vcs-id and rbridge-id.
This command will cause Cold reboot on both MMs at the same time and will require
that existing telnet, secure telnet or SSH sessions be restarted.
Do you want to continue? [y/n]: y
Monitoring and verifying a firmware download session
Regardless of the options that you invoke, while the upgrade is proceeding you can start a separate CLI
session on the switch and use the show firmwaredownloadstatus command to monitor the progress
of the upgrade.
