Appendix B Working with the Cisco IOS File System, Configuration Files, and Software Images
Working with Software Images
The download algorithm verifies that the image is appropriate for the switch model and that enough
DRAM is present, or it aborts the process and reports an error. If you specify the /overwrite option, the
download algorithm removes the existing image on the flash device whether or not it is the same as the
new one, downloads the new image, and then reloads the software.
Note If the flash device has sufficient space to hold two images and you want to overwrite one of these images
with the same version, you must specify the /overwrite option.
If you specify the /leave-old-sw, the existing files are not removed. If there is not enough room to install
the new image an keep the running image, the download process stops, and an error message is
displayed.
Step 6
archive download-sw /overwrite /reload
rcp:[[[//[username@]location]/directory]/image-na
me.tar]
Download the image file from the RCP server to the switch,
and overwrite the current image.
• The /overwrite option overwrites the software image in
flash memory with the downloaded image.
• The /reload option reloads the system after
downloading the image unless the configuration has
been changed and not been saved.
• For //username, specify the username. For the RCP copy
request to execute successfully, an account must be
defined on the network server for the remote username.
For more information, see the
“Preparing to Download
or Upload an Image File By Using RCP” section on
page B-33.
• For @location, specify the IP address of the RCP server.
• For /directory/image-name.tar, specify the directory
(optional) and the image to download. Directory and
image names are case sensitive.
Step 7
archive download-sw /leave-old-sw /reload
rcp:[[[//[username@]location]/directory]/image-na
me.tar]
Download the image file from the RCP server to the switch,
and keep the current image.
• The /leave-old-sw option keeps the old software version
after a download.
• The /reload option reloads the system after
downloading the image unless the configuration has
been changed and not been saved.
• For //username, specify the username. For the RCP copy
request to execute, an account must be defined on the
network server for the remote username. For more
information, see the
“Preparing to Download or Upload
an Image File By Using RCP” section on page B-33.
• For @location, specify the IP address of the RCP server.
• For /directory]/image-name.tar, specify the directory
(optional) and the image to download. Directory and
image names are case sensitive.
