Copying the Package File to a Local Storage Device or Network
Server
You must copy the SMU package file to a local storage device or a network file server to which the device
has access. After this task is done, the package can be added and activated on the device.
If you need to store package files on the device, we recommend that you store the files on the hard disk. The
boot device is the local disk from which the package is added and activated. The default boot device is
bootflash:.
Before you copy package files to a local storage device, use the dir command to determine if the required
package files are already on the device.
Tip
If the SMU package files are located on a remote TFTP, FTP, or SFTP server, you can copy the files to a local
storage device. After the files are located on the local storage device, the package can be added and activated
on the device from that storage device. The following server protocols are supported:
• Trivial File Transfer Protocol—TFTP allows files to be transferred from one computer to another over
a network, usually without the use of client authentication (for example, username and password). It is
a simplified version of FTP.
