CLI: Xmodem Download from a PC or Unix Workstation to
Primary or Secondary Flash
Using Xmodem and a terminal emulator, you can download an OS image to
either primary or secondary flash.
Syntax:
copy xmodem flash [<primary | secondary>]
Note that if you do not specify the flash destination, the Xmodem download
defaults to primary flash.
For example, to download an OS file named G0103.swi from a PC (running a
terminal emulator program such as HyperTerminal) to primary flash:
1.
Execute the following command in the CLI:
2.
Execute the terminal emulator commands to begin the Xmodem transfer.
For example, using HyperTerminal:
a.
Click on
Transfer
, then
Send File
.
b.
Type the file path and name in the Filename field.
c.
In the Protocol field, select
Xmodem
.
d.
Click on the
[Send]
button.
The download can take several minutes, depending on the baud rate used
in the transfer.
3.
When the download finishes, you must reboot the switch to implement
the newly dowloaded OS. To do so, use one of the following commands:
boot system flash <primary | secondary>
Reboots from the selected
flash.
-or-
reload
Reboots from the flash image
currently in use.
(For more on these commands, see “Rebooting the Switch” on page 5-17.)

downloaded in the preceding steps.
