Downloading New Firmware
1-4 Setting Up a Switch for the First Time
or just want to verify the contents of the images directory, refer to “Deleting a Backup Image File”
on page 1-5 for more information.
After you have established your connection to the switch, follow these steps to download the
latest firmware:
1. Start the TFTP application.
2. In the terminal emulation session window, use the copy command to TFTP transfer the
firmware file from the TFTP server location to the images directory on the switch. For
example:
C5(su)->copy tftp://192.168.1.2/c5-series_06.61.01.0031 system:image
3. Set the new firmware to be active and reboot the system with the set boot system command.
When the command asks if you want to reset the system now, reply y. For example:
C5(su)->set boot system c5-series_06.61.01.0031
This command can optionally reset the system to boot the new image.

4. After the switch reboots, log in again and use the dir command to confirm that the new
firmware is the “active” and “boot” firmware. For example:
C5(su)->dir
