File Transfers
Downloading Switch Software
For example, to copy a switch software file named k0800.swi from a USB
device to primary flash:
1. Execute copy as shown below:
This message means that the image you
want to upload will replace the image
currently in primary flash.
Figure A-7. Example of the Command to Copy Switch Software from USB
2. When the switch finishes copying the software file from the USB device,
it displays this progress message:
Validating and Writing System Software to the Filesystem.…
3. When the copy finishes, you must reboot the switch to implement the
newly loaded software. To do so, use one of the following commands:
Syntax: boot system flash < primary | secondary >
Boots from the selected flash.
Syntax: reload
Boots from the flash image and startup-config file. A switch
covered in this guide (with multiple configuration files), also
uses the current startup-config file.
(For more on these commands, refer to “Rebooting the Switch” on page
6-18.)
4. To confirm that the software downloaded correctly, execute show system
and check the Firmware revision line.
Switch-to-Switch Download
You can use TFTP to transfer a software image between two switches of the
same series. The menu interface enables you to transfer primary-to-primary
or secondary-to-primary. The CLI enables all combinations of flash location
options.
