Chapter A Upgrading Your ACE Software
Copying the Software Upgrade Image to the ACE
Copying the Software Upgrade Image to the ACE
To copy a software image to the ACE, use the
copy
command in the Admin
context from the Exec mode. You can copy a software image to the ACE from a
variety of sources, including:
•
FTP server
•
SFTP server
•
TFTP server
The
copy
command allows you to rename the image copied to the ACE.
The syntax for this command is:
copy
{
ftp://
server
/
path
[
/
filename
] |
sftp://
[
username
@
]
server
/
path
[
/
filename
] |
tftp://
server
[
:
port
]
/
path
[
/
filename
]}
image:
[
name
]
The keywords, arguments, and options are:
•
ftp://
server
/
path
[
/
filename
]—Specifies the URL of the software image
located on an FTP server. This path is optional because the ACE prompts you
for this information if you omit it.
•
sftp://
[
username
@
]
server
/
path
[
/
filename
]—Specifies the URL of a software
image on a secure FTP server. This path is optional because the ACE prompts
you for this information if you omit it.
•
tftp://
server
[
:
port
]
/
path
[
/
filename
]—Specifies the URL of a software image
on a trivial FTP server. This path is optional because the ACE prompts you
for this information if you omit it.
•
image:
[
name
]—Specifies the the name for the software image copied to the
ACE. If you do not enter the
name
argument, the ACE uses the default name
of the image.
For example, to copy the image c4710ace-t1k9-mz.A1_7.bin located on an FTP
server to the ACE, enter:
host1/Admin#
copy ftp://server1/images/c4710ace-t1k9-mz.A1_7.bin
image:
To set the boot variable and configure the ACE to autoboot this image, see the
“Configuring the ACE to Autoboot the Software Image”
section.
