{slot <slot>}
Description
Downloads a new version of the ExtremeWare software image.
Syntax Description
Default
Stores the downloaded image in the current location (the location used for the last reboot).
Usage Guidelines
Prior to downloading an image, you must place the new image in a file on a TFTP server on your
network. Unless you include a path with the filename, this command assumes that the file resides in the
same directory as the TFTP server itself.
The switch can store up to two images: a primary image and a secondary image. When you download a
new image, you must select into which image space (primary or secondary) you want the new image to
be placed. If no parameters are defined, the software image is saved to the selected image, that is, the
next boot-up image.
Use of the
<hostname>
parameter requires that DNS be enabled.
For ExtremeWare 7.1.0 and higher, the following features are available on the Alpine and BlackDiamond
chassis:
• You can update the operational images for all installed modules that run a software image. All of the
operational images files must be located in the same directory on the TFTP server and they must
have the same filename prefix.
• To update all of the images on the installed modules, use the
all-images
keyword.
