Copying Software Images
Using the CLI commands described in this section, you can copy software
images from the switch to another device using tftp, xmodem, or usb.
Note For details on how switch memory operates, including primary and secondary
flash, refer to Chapter 6, “Switch Memory and Configuration”.

For example, to copy the primary flash to a TFTP server having an IP address
of 10.28.227.105:
ProCurve# copy flash tftp 10.28.227.105 z0800.swi
where z0800.swi is the filename given to the flash image being copied.
Xmodem: Copying a Software Image from the Switch to a
USB Serial Console Connected PC or UNIX Workstation

1. Execute the following command:
2. After you see the above prompt, press
[Enter].
3. Execute the terminal emulator commands to begin the file transfer.
Syntax: copy flash tftp < ip-addr > < filename >
This command copies the primary flash image to a TFTP
