Chapter 33 Working with System Software Images
Downloading System Software Images to the Switch Using TFTP
Note
The switch remains operational while the image downloads.
Step 4
Modify the BOOT environment variable by using the set boot system flash device:filename prepend
command, so that the new image boots when you reset the switch. Specify the Flash device (device:) and
the filename of the downloaded image (filename).
Step 5
Reset the switch by entering the reset system command. If you are connected to the switch through
Telnet, your Telnet session disconnects.
Step 6
When the switch reboots, enter the show version command to check the version of the code on the
switch.
