Usage Guidelines
Use the
/allow-feature-upgrade
option to allow installation of an image with a different feature set, for
example, upgrading from the IP base feature set to the IP services feature.
You can use the
archive download-sw /directory
command to specify a directory only once, followed
by a tar file or list of tar files to be downloaded, instead of specifying complete paths with each tar file.
The
/imageonly
option removes the HTML files for the existing image if the existing image is being
removed or replaced. Only the Cisco IOS image (without the HTML files) is downloaded.
