Network OS Command Reference 301

firmware download scp
2
The device components supported by this command have two partitions of nonvolatile storage
(primary and secondary) to store two firmware images. This command always downloads the new
image to the secondary partition and then swaps partitions, so the secondary partition becomes
the primary partition.
By default, the firmware download process reboots the system and activates the new image.
Finally, the process performs a firmware commit operation to copy the new image to the other
partition.
Usage Guidelines This command supports firmware upgrades on the local switch only.
This command does not support pagination.
If the firmware download is interrupted because of an unexpected reboot as a result of a software
error or power failure, the command automatically recovers the corrupted secondary partition.
Wait for the recovery to complete before starting another firmware download.
