Downloading Switch Software
For example, to download a switch software file named k0800.swi from a
TFTP server with the IP address of 10.28.227.103 to primary flash:
1. Execute copy as shown below:
Figure A-4. Example of the Command to Download an OS (Switch Software)
2. When the switch finishes downloading the software file from the server,
it displays this progress message:
Validating and Writing System Software to FLASH …
3. When the download finishes, you must reboot the switch to implement
the newly downloaded software image. To do so, use one of the following
commands:
(For more on these commands, refer to “Rebooting the Switch” on page
6-19.)
This command automatically downloads a switch software
file to primary or secondary flash. Note that if you do not
specify the flash destination, the TFTP download defaults to
primary flash.
For switches that have a separate out-of-band management
port, the oobm parameter specifies that the traffic will go
through the out-of-band management interface. If this
parameter is not specified, the traffic goes through the data
interface.
Dynamic counter continually displays the
number of bytes transferred.
This message means that the image you
want to upload will replace the image
currently in primary flash.

Boots from the flash image and startup-config file. A switch
covered in this guide (with multiple configuration files), also
uses the current startup-config file.
