archive download-sw
If you specify the command without the /overwrite option, the download algorithm verifies that the new
image is not the same as the one on the switch flash device or is not running on any stack members. If
the images are the same, the download does not occur. If the images are different, the old image is
deleted, and the new one is downloaded.
After downloading a new image, enter the reload privileged EXEC command to begin using the new
image, or specify the /reload or /force-reload option in the archive download-sw command.
Use the /directory option to specify a directory for the images.
Examples This example shows how to download a new image from a TFTP server at 172.20.129.10 and to
overwrite the image on the switch:
Switch# archive download-sw /overwrite tftp://172.20.129.10/test-image.tar
This example shows how to download only the software image from a TFTP server at 172.20.129.10 to
the switch:
Switch# archive download-sw /imageonly tftp://172.20.129.10/test-image.tar
This example shows how to keep the old software version after a successful download:
Switch# archive download-sw /leave-old-sw tftp://172.20.129.10/test-image.tar
This example specifies the location of two tar images without having to specify the path each time:
Switch# archive download-sw tftp://10.1.1.10/
cbs31x0-universal-tar.122-40.EX2.tar cbs31x0-universal-tar.122-40.EX.tar
