Chapter 27 Working with System Software Images
Downloading the Software Images Using FTP or TFTP
Step 4 If there are multiple modules of the type that is appropriate for the image but you only want to update a
single module, enter the copy ftp m/bootflash: or copy tftp m/bootflash: command, where m is the
number of the module to which to download the software image.
Note If you do not specify a module number, the switch examines the header of the image file to
determine to which modules the software is downloaded. The image is then downloaded to all
the modules of that type.
The switch downloads the image file, erases the flash memory on the appropriate modules, and
reprograms the flash memory with the downloaded flash code.
Note All modules in the switch remain operational while the image downloads.
Step 5 Reset the appropriate modules by entering the reset mod command. If you are connected through Telnet,
your Telnet session disconnects if you reset the module through which your connection was made.
Step 6 When the upgraded modules come online, enter the show version [mod] command to check the version
of the code on the switch.
Note For examples that show the complete procedures on FTP and TFTP downloads to the intelligent
modules, see the “Single Module Image Download Example” section on page 27-12 and the “Multiple
Module Image Download Example” section on page 27-13.
