Method Two.
1 Download the software module from your TFTP server or external compact flash memory card using
the following command:
download image [[<hostname> | <ipaddress>] <filename> {{vr} <vrname>} | memorycard
<filename>] {<partition>} {msm <slotid>}
2 Activate the installed modular package, if installed on the active partition, using the following
command:
run update
3 Terminate and restart the processes associated with the software module using the following
command:
restart process [class <cname> | <name> {msm <slot>}]
Examples. The following examples upgrade the SSH module on the active partition and assume that
you have:
● Upgraded the switch to a new core image (see “Installing a Core Image” on page 593 for more
information)
â—Ź Downloaded the corresponding modular software package to your TFTP server. On a modular
switch, you can download the modular software package to an external compact flash memory card
(see “Downloading a New Image” on page 591 for more information)
The first example uses the
terminate process and start process commands to terminate and restart
the processes associated with the software module that you are updating:
terminate process exsshd graceful
download image 10.10.10.2 bd10K-11.3.0.10-ssh.xmod
run update
start process exsshd
The second example uses the restart process command to terminate and restart the processes
associated with the software module that you are updating:
download image 10.10.10.2 bd10K-11.3.0.10-ssh.xmod
run update
restart process exsshd
Rebooting the Switch
To reboot the switch, use the following command:
reboot {time <month> <day> <year> <hour> <min> <sec>} {cancel} {warm} {msm <slot_id>}
Use this command to schedule a time to reboot the switch or to reboot the switch immediately. To
schedule a time to reboot the switch, use the following command:
reboot time <date> <time>
Where date is the date and time is the time (using a 24-hour clock format) when the switch will be
rebooted. The values use the following format:
mm dd yyyy hh mm ss
