switch.

Upgrading Bootrom, please wait...
Upgrade Bootrom succeeded!
<4210> reboot
After the switch restarts, the file switch.btm is used as the Boot ROM. It indicates
that the Boot ROM loading is finished.
2 Loading host software
Loading the host software is the same as loading the Boot ROM program, except
that the file to be downloaded is the host software file, and that you need to use
the boot boot-loader command to select the host software used for the next
startup of the switch.
Only the configuration steps concerning loading are listed here. For detailed
description of the corresponding configuration commands, refer to the
“FTP and
SFTP Configuration” on page 429 and “TFTP Configuration” on page 445.
Remote Loading Using
TFTP
The remote loading using TFTP is similar to that using FTP. The only difference is
that TFTP is used to load software to the switch, and the switch can only act as a
TFTP client.
