switch software file has been received, all activity on the switch halts and
you will see Validating and writing system software to FLASH...
7. After the primary flash memory has been updated with the new switch
software, you must reboot the switch to implement the newly downloaded
code. From the Main Menu and press [6] (for Reboot Switch). You will then
see this prompt:
Continue reboot of system? : No

and Counters menu, select 1. General System Information
b. Check the Firmware revision line.
