a.
Copy the upgrading mirror to switch
In the privilege mode of switch, use the command COPY to copy the mirror files on TFTP server
to the boot directory of switch flash;
Swtich#copy tftp://10.10.29.160/CanogaOS-v1.2.5.fcs1-9171.r.bin
flash:/boot/CanogaOS-v1.2.5.fcs1-9171.r.bin
When copying, check if the switch has enough space; if the space is not enough, you can delete
redundant mirror.
