Appendix B Working with the Cisco IOS File System, Configuration Files, and Software Images
Working with Software Images
Working with Software Images
This section describes how to archive (download and upload) software image files, which contain the
system software, the Cisco IOS code, and the embedded device manager software.
Note
Instead of using the
copy
privileged EXEC command or the
archive tar
privileged EXEC command, we
recommend using the
archive download-sw
and
archive upload-sw
privileged EXEC commands to
download and upload software image files.
You can download a switch image file from a TFTP, FTP, or RCP server to upgrade the switch software.
If you do not have access to a TFTP server, you can download a software image file directly to your PC
or workstation by using a web browser (HTTP) and then by using the device manager to upgrade your
switch. For information about upgrading your switch by using a TFTP server or a web browser (HTTP),
see the release notes.
Step 4
exit
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 5

Replace the running configuration file with a saved configuration file.
target-url—
URL (accessible by the file system) of the saved configuration file
that is to replace the running configuration, such as the configuration file
created in Step 2 by using the
archive config
privileged EXEC command.
list
—
Display a list of the command entries applied by the software parser
during each pass of the configuration replacement operation. The total number
of passes also appears.
force
—
Replace the running configuration file with the specified saved
configuration file without prompting you for confirmation.
time
seconds—
Specify the time (in seconds) within which you must enter the
configure confirm
command to confirm replacement of the running
configuration file. If you do not enter the
configure confirm
command within
the specified time limit, the configuration replacement operation is
automatically stopped. (In other words, the running configuration file is
restored to the configuration that existed before you entered the
configure
replace
command).
Note
You must first enable the configuration archive before you can use the
time
seconds
command line option.
nolock
—
Disable the locking of the running configuration file that prevents
other users from changing the running configuration during a configuration
replacement operation.
Step 6
configure confirm
(Optional) Confirm replacement of the running configuration with a saved
configuration file.
Note
Use this command only if the
time
seconds
keyword and argument of
the
configure replace
command are specified
.
Step 7
copy running-config
startup-config
(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
