firmware download ftp
Specifies FTP as the protocol used to perform a firmware download.
Synopsis firmware download ftp [coldboot] [manual] [nocommit] [noreboot] host {hostname |
host_ip_address} user username password password directory directory [file file_name]
[noactivate]
Operands coldboot Performs a non-ISSU firmware download. When firmware is downloaded
onto a chassis system, it is sometimes necessary to specify the coldboot
option. This option must be specified on the active MM only. When
specified, the coldboot option downloads firmware onto both the active and
standby MMs at the same time. After the firmware completes downloading
on both MMs, they are rebooted at the same time. This ensures that both
MMs reboot with the same firmware, and prevents any firmware
compatibility issues that may exist between the old and the new firmware.
Caution: Do not use this option unless instructed to do so by Brocade
Technical Support.
directory directory Specifies a fully qualified path to the directory where the firmware is
located.
file filename Specifies the firmware .plist file. This parameter is optional; if unspecified,
the default file, release.plist, is used.
host Specifies the host by DNS name or IP address.
hostname Specifies an IPv4 DNS host name.
host_ip_address Specifies the host IP address. IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are supported.
manual Updates a single management module in a chassis with two management
modules. You must log in to the management module through its dedicated
management IP address. This parameter is ignored when issued on a
compact switch or in a chassis with only one management module.
noactivate Performs a firmware download without activation on the local switch.
nocommit Disables auto-commit mode. When auto-commit mode is disabled,
firmware is downloaded only to the primary partition. You must execute the
firmware commit command manually to propagate the new image to the
secondary partition.
noreboot Disables auto-reboot mode. When auto-reboot mode is disabled, you must
reboot the switch manually. If auto-commit mode was disabled, you must
perform a manual firmware commit operation after the switch comes back
up.
password password Specifies the account password.
user username Specifies the user login name for the host.
Defaults firmware download performs an auto-reboot and a subsequent auto-commit operation.
