Firmware boot
The firmware command is used to upgrade the firmware through a variety of options. The boot
command is used to configure the way in which the switch will boot after a firmware upgrade.
Once the IP address of the TFTP and the path location of the new software image file is properly
configured (Please see section 17 & 18), the user can choose one of three options to boot the
switch after the firmware has been upgraded.
• Net option:
This option allows you to try out a new image before upgrading. It requires a TFTP filename
and a server IP address to retrieve the specified image from the given IP address.
The new image will not overwrite the one in non-volatile memory.
• Net & save option
This option requires the same setup as the Net option, i.e. TFTP server and a new image.
However, it copies the image to non-volatile memory directly and then the system boots from
non-volatile memory
