Usage Guidelines
Be sure you have the location address and authentication credentials for image file access, as well as the fully
qualified name of the file.
FXOS stores firmware images in bootflash on the fabric interconnect.
In firmware mode, you can use the show package image_name detail command to monitor the image download
process. The output display does not refresh automatically, so you may have to enter the command multiple
times until the task State is “Downloaded.”
In firmware mode, and in application software mode, you can use the show download-task command to
