Software upgrade commands
The switch can start up from the built-in flash memory or the USB disk. As a best practice, store the
startup images in the built-in flash memory. If you store the startup images on the USB disk, do not
remove the USB disk during the startup process.
boot-loader file
Use boot-loader file to specify startup image files.
Syntax
boot-loader file boot filename system filename [ feature filename&<1-30> ] { all | slot slot-number }
{ backup | main }
boot-loader file ipe-filename { all | slot slot-number } { backup | main }

Parameters
boot: Specifies a boot image file.
system: Specifies a system image file.
feature: Specifies a space-separated list of up to 30 feature image files.
filename: Specifies a .bin file in the filesystemname/filename.bin format. The file must be stored in
the root directory of a file system on the device. Excluding the file system location section (if any), the
value string can have a maximum of 63 characters. For more information about specifying a file, see
Fundamentals Configuration Guide.
ipe-filename: Specifies an .ipe image package file in the filesystemname/filename.ipe format. The
file must be stored in the root directory of a file system on the device. Excluding the file system
location section (if any), the value string can have a maximum of 63 characters. For more information
about specifying a file, see Fundamentals Configuration Guide.
all: Specifies all hardware components to which the specified images apply.
slot slot-number: Specifies the IRF member ID of a member device.
backup: Specifies the files as backup startup image files. Backup images are used only when main
images are not available.
main: Specifies the files as main startup image files. The device always first attempts to start up with
main startup files.
Usage guidelines
To load the specified startup software images, you must reboot the system.
The boot-loader file command overwrites the entire startup image list. To add new startup feature
images, specify all feature image files in the old startup image list, including feature image files. The
new startup image list will contain only the feature image files that are specified in the command.
If the upgrade images are not found in the file system on the slot specified to upgrade, the system
automatically copies the images to that file system. The destination directory is the root directory of
the file system. If the destination root directory already contains a startup image with the same name
as an upgrade image, you must choose whether to overwrite the image.
