only the next time it reboots.
SET INSTALL=TEMPORARY RELEASE=87-261.rez
PATCH=87261-01.paz
If you want to use the current switch configuration again, store the
dynamic configuration as a configuration script file, and set the switch to
use this configuration when it restarts.
CREATE CONFIG=myconfig.scp
SET CONFIG=myconfig.scp
Reboot the switch.
RESTART REBOOT
The switch reboots, loading the new patch file and the specified
configuration. Check that the switch operates correctly with the new patch
file.

If the switch operates correctly with the new patch, make the release
permanent.
SET INSTALL=PREF RELEASE=87-261.rez PATCH=87261-01.paz
Every time the switch reboots from now on, it loads the new release and
