File Transfers
Downloading Switch Software
CLI: TFTP Download from a Server to Primary
or Secondary Flash
This command automatically downloads a switch software image to primary
or secondary flash.
Syntax
:
copy tftp flash <
ip-address
> <
remote-os-file
> [< primary | secondary >]
Note that if you do not specify the flash destination, the Xmodem download
defaults to primary flash.
For example, to download a switch software file named G0502.swi from a
TFTP server with the IP address of 10.28.227.103 to primary flash:
1. Execute
copy
as shown below:
Dynamic counter continually displays the
number of bytes transferred.
This message means that the image you
want to upload will replace the image
currently in primary flash.
Figure A-3. Example of the Command to Download Switch Software
2. When the switch finishes downloading the switch software file from the
server, it displays this progress message:
Validating and Writing System Software to FLASH . . .
3. When the switch is ready to activate the downloaded software you will
see this message:
System software written to FLASH.
You will need to reboot to activate.
At this point, use the boot command to reboot the switch and activate the
software you just downloaded:
ProCurve # boot
(For more on these commands, refer to “Rebooting the Switch” on page
6-18.)
4. To confirm that the switch software downloaded correctly, execute
show
system
and check the Firmware revision line.
If you need information on primary/secondary flash memory and the boot
commands, refer to “Using Primary and Secondary Flash Image Options” on
page 6-13.
