File Transfers
Downloading Switch Software
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.
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:

want to upload will replace the image
currently in primary flash.

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:
Syntax:
boot system flash < primary | secondary >
Boots from the selected flash.
Syntax:
reload
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.
(For more on these commands, refer to “Rebooting the Switch” on page
6-19.)
