Downloading Software to the Switch
TFTP Download from a Server
Syntax: copy tftp flash <ip-address> <remote-os-file> [< primary | secondary >]
Note that if you do not specify the flash destination, the TFTP download defaults to the primary flash.
For example, to download a software file named L_10_0x.swi from a TFTP server with the IP address
of 10.28.227.103:
1. Execute the copy command as shown below:
ProCurve # copy tftp flash 10.28.227.103 L_10_0x.swi
The primary OS image will be deleted. continue [y/n]? Y
03125K
2. When the switch finishes downloading the software file from the server, it displays the progress
message shown in figure 1. When the CLI prompt re-appears, the switch is ready to reboot to
activate the downloaded software:
Figure 1. Message Indicating the Switch Is Ready To Activate the Downloaded Software
3. Use the show flash command to verify that the new software version is in the expected flash area
(primary or secondary)
4. Reboot the switch from the flash area that holds the new software (primary or secondary).
After the switch reboots, it displays the CLI or Main Menu, depending on the Logon Default setting
last configured in the menu’s Switch Setup screen.
When this message appears, the switch has finished
downloading the software file from the server.
When the CLI prompt appears, the switch is ready for
rebooting to activate the downloaded software.
