After receiving the file, the switch compares the version numbers of
the new image file that you just downloaded against the file already
in the application block on the switch. If the new image file has an
earlier or the same version number as the file in the switch’s
application block, it cancels the update process. If the new image
file has a newer version number, the switch writes the file to the
application block portion of flash memory and then resets.
Caution
The switch does not forward any network traffic while writing the
image to flash and during the reset process. This can take several
minutes to complete. Some network traffic may be lost.
This completes the procedure for downloading a new AT-S63
image file to a switch from a local management session using TFTP.
