about the CLI commands, refer to the

1. Type the following commands to download the firmware from a remote host
to the switch, install the firmware, and then reset the switch to activate the
firmware.

Switch #> firmware install
The switch will be reset. This process will cause a

sessions,including any Telnet sessions. When the firmware
activation is complete, you may log in to the switch again.

of the remote host. When prompted for the source file name, type the path
