ExtremeWare XOS 11.5 Command Reference Guide
1901
NOTE
Unlike ExtremeWare, the download image command in ExtremeWare XOS causes the switch to use the newly
downloaded software image during the next switch reboot. To modify or reset the software image used during a
switch reboot, use the use image command.
Specify the ipaddress or hostname parameters to download a an image from a TFTP server on the
network. Use of the
hostname parameter requires that DNS be enabled.
Core Software Images. The switch can store up to two core images: a primary and a secondary. When
downloading a new image, you select which partition (primary or secondary) to install the new image.
If you do not specify a partition, the software image is downloaded and installed into the current
(active) partition. If you want to install the software image to the alternate partition, you must specify
that partition before downloading the image.
Image Filenames. The software image file can be a .xos file, which contains an ExtremeWare XOS core
image, or a .xmod file, which contains an ExtremeWare XOS modular software package. Modular
software packages have additional functionality that supplement a core image.
You can identify the appropriate image or module for your platform based on the filename of the
image. Table 32 lists the filename prefixes for each platform:
For example, if you have a BlackDiamond 8806 switch, download image filenames with the prefix
bd8800-.
Displaying the Software Image Versions. To display the software image version running on the switch,
use the
show version or show switch commands.
Host Name and Remote IP Address Character Restrictions. This section provides information about the
characters supported by the switch for host names and remote IP addresses.
When specifying a host name or remote IP address, the switch permits only the following characters:
● Alphabetical letters, upper case and lower case (A-Z, a-z)
● Numerals (0-9)
● Period ( . )
● Dash ( - ) Permitted only for host names
● Underscore ( _ ) Permitted only for host names
