Use the copy tftp flash command to copy the boot code to the device only during a
maintenance window. Attempting to do so during normal networking operations can cause
disruption to the network.

level of the CLI:
• show flash
The output will display the compressed boot ROM code size and the boot code version.

1. Place the new flash code on a TFTP server to which the device has access.
2. Enter the following command at the Privileged EXEC level of the CLI to copy the flash code from
the TFTP server into the flash memory.
copy tftp flash <ip-addr> <image-file-name> primary | secondary

4. If the flash code version is correct, go to step 5 . Otherwise, go to step 1 .
5. Reload the software by entering one of the following commands:
• reload (this command boots from the default boot source, which is the primary flash area
by default)
• hitless-reload primary | secondary
• boot system flash primary | secondary
The boot system flash process occurs after a boot system flash primary/secondary
