Downloading a New Image
The image file contains the executable code that runs on the switch. It comes preinstalled from the
factory. As new versions of the image are released, you should upgrade the software running on your
system.
The image is upgraded by using a download procedure from either a Trivial File Transfer Protocol
(TFTP) server on the network. Downloading a new image involves the following steps:
• Load the new image onto a TFTP server on your network (if you will be using TFTP).
• Download the new image to the switch using the download image command:
To download the image, use the following command:
download image [<ipaddress> | <hostname>] <filename> {primary | secondary}
where:
ipaddress
Specifies the IP address of the TFTP server.
hostname
Specifies the hostname of the TFTP server. (You must enable DNS to
use this option.)
filename
Specifies the filename of the new image.
primary
Specifies the primary image.
secondary
Specifies the secondary image.
