2. Specify the protocol to use for the download.
3. Respond to the prompts to begin the file transfer.
If you use TFTP to upload the file from the switch to the TFTP server, the prompts and procedures very
similar to the steps described for the TFTP software image download. For more information about the
prompts and how to respond, see “Load Code Update Package”.
If you use
XMODEM, YMODEM,
or
ZMODEM
to
transfer
the file,
configure
the
terminal
or
terminal
emulation
application with the appropriate settings to receive the file. For example, if you use TeraTerm, click File >
Transfer > XMODEM(or YMODEM,ZMODEM) > Receive, and then specify where to put the file and which
protocol to use.
2.3.1.6. Erase Current Configuration
Use option 6 to clear changes to the startup-config file and reset the system to its factory default setting.
This option is the same as
executing
the clear config
command
from
Privileged
EXEC mode. You are not
prompted to confirm the selection.
2.3.1.7. Erase Permanent Storage
Use option 7 to completely erase the switch software application, any log files, and any
configurations.
The
boot loader and operating system are not erased. Use this option only if a file has become corrupt and your
are unable to use option 2, Load Code Update Package, to load a new image onto the switch. After you
erase permanent storage, you must download an image to the switch; otherwise, the switch will not be
functional.
2.3.1.8. Select Boot Method
Use option 8 to specify whether the system should boot from the image stored on the internal flash, from
an image over the network, or from an image over the serial port. By default, the switch boots from the flash
image.
To boot over the network, the image must be located on a TFTP server that can be accessed by the switch. To
boot from the serial port, the switch must be connected through the console port to a terminal or system
with a terminal emulator. The image must be located on the connected device.
If you select option 8, the following menu appears:
Current boot method: FLASH
1 - Flash Boot
2 - Network Boot
3 - Serial Boot
4 - Exit without change
