The
patch install
command changes patch file location specified with the
patch location
command to
the directory specified by the
patch-location
argument of the
patch install
command. For example, if
you execute the
patch location
xxx
command and then the
patch install
yyy
command, the patch file
location automatically changes from xxx to yyy.
Loading a Patch File
Loading the right patch files is the basis of other hotfixing operations. The system loads a patch file from
the flash by default.
Set the file transfer mode to binary mode before using FTP or TFTP to upload/download patch files
to/from the flash of the switch. Otherwise, patch file cannot be parsed properly.
