Syntax Description /allow-feature-upgrade Allows installation of software images with different feature sets (for
example, upgrade from the IP base feature set to the IP services features
set).
/destination-system
stack-member-number
Specifies the specific stack member to be upgraded. The range is 1 to 9.
This keyword is supported only on stacking-capable switches.
/directory Specifies a directory for all of the images.
/force-reload Unconditionally forces a system reload after downloading the software
image.
/force-ucode-reload Forces the system to reload the switch multipoint control unit (MCU) code
before shutting down the switch, which reduces the time that the switch is
down.
/imageonly Downloads only the software image but not the HTML files associated with
the embedded device manager. The HTML files for the existing version are
deleted only if the existing version is being overwritten or removed.
/leave-old-sw Keeps the old software version after a download.
/no-set-boot Does not alter the setting of the BOOT environment variable to point to the
new software image after it is downloaded.
/no-version-check Downloads the software image without checking the compatibility of the
stack protocol version on the image and on the switch stack.
This keyword is supported only on stacking-capable switches.
/only-system-type
system-type
Specifies the specific system type to be upgraded. The range is 0 to
FFFFFFFF.
This keyword is supported only on stacking-capable switches.
/overwrite Overwrites the software image in flash memory with the downloaded
image.
/reload Reloads the system after downloading the image unless the configuration
has been changed and not been saved.
/rolling-stack-upgrade Starts the rolling state upgrade process to upgrade the members one at a
time.
/safe Keeps the current software image; does not delete it to make room for the
new software image before the new image is downloaded. The current
image is deleted after the download.
/warm Reloads the system using a warm upgrade method after a software upgrade.
