3. If you want to upgrade other software images, go to the appropriate upgrade
section for information. If you have completed upgrading the software images,
you must reboot the device to complete the upgrade process.
Upgrading the device’s monitor and boot images
If you are upgrading, you should only upgrade the monitor and boot images if told
to in the relevant Release Notes of the version you are upgrading to.
To upgrade a device’s monitor and boot images, perform the following steps:
1. Place the new monitor and boot images on a TFTP server to which the switch
has access.
2. Copy the new monitor and boot images to the switch. Enter one of the following
commands at the Privileged EXEC level of the device’s CLI (example:
NetIron#):
Table 13. Command syntax for upgrading monitor and boot images on the switch
Command Syntax Description
copy tftp flash <ip-addr> <image-name>
monitor
Copies the latest monitor image from the
TFTP server to flash.
copy tftp flash <ip-addr> <image-name>
boot
Copies the latest boot image from the TFTP
server to flash.
For information about the image name to specify, see Table 10 on page 45.
3. Verify that the new monitor and boot images have been successfully copied to
flash or slot 1 or 2 by entering one of the following commands at the Privileged
EXEC level of the CLI:
v show flash
v dir /<path-name>/
Check for the boot image, monitor image, and the date and time at which the
new images were built.
4. If you want to upgrade other software images, go to the appropriate upgrade
section for information. If you have completed upgrading the software images,
you must reboot the switch to complete the upgrade process.
Loading and saving configuration files
For easy configuration management, the switch supports both the download and
upload of configuration files between the switch and a TFTP server on the network.
You can upload either the startup configuration file or the running configuration to
the TFTP server, or code flash and use in booting the system.
v Startup configuration file - This file (startup-config) contains the configuration
information that is currently saved in the code flash. To display this file, enter the
show configuration command at any CLI prompt.
v
Running configuration - This active configuration is in the system RAM but not
yet saved to code flash. These changes could represent a short-term
requirement or general configuration change. To display this configuration, enter
the
show running-config
or
write terminal
command at any CLI prompt.
