Description

Usage Guidelines
Upgrade the BootROM image only when asked to do so by an Extreme Networks technical
representative.
The BootROM image file is a .xbr file, and this file contains the executable code.
If this command does not complete successfully it could prevent the switch from booting. In the event
the switch does not boot properly, some boot option functions can be accessed through a special
Bootloader menu (see the
ExtremeWare XOS Concepts Guide ).
Use of the <
hostname
> parameter requires that DNS be enabled.
Example
The following command downloads a bootROM image from the tftp server tftphost from the file
bootimages :
download bootrom tftphost bootimage
