Loading New Software to Your Switch
The
switch
can
store
up
to
two
different
software
images,
called
image1
and
image2
,
as
well
as
boot
software,
called
boot
.
When
you
load
new
software,
you
must
specify
where
it
should
be
placed:
either
into
image1
,
image2
or
boot
.
For
example,
if
your
active
image
is
currently
loaded
into
image1
,
you
would
probably
load
the
new
image
software
into
image2
.
This
lets
you
test
the
new
software
and
reload
the
original
active
image
(stored
in
image1
),
if
needed.
To
load
a
new
software
image
to
your
switch,
you
need
the
following:
The
image
or
boot
software
loaded
on
a
SFTP/FTP/TFTP
server
on
your
network
The
hostname
or
IP
address
of
the
SFTP/FTP/TFTP
server
The
name
of
the
new
software
image
or
boot
file
Note:
The
DNS
parameters
must
be
configured
if
specifying
hostnames.
When
the
above
requirements
are
met,
use
the
following
procedure
to
download
the
new
software
to
your
switch.
1.
In
Privileged
EXEC
mode,
enter
the
following
command:
2.
Select
a
port
to
use
for
downloading
the
image.
3.
Enter
the
hostname
or
IP
address
of
the
SFTP,
FTP
or
TFTP
server.
4.
Enter
the
name
of
the
new
software
file
on
the
server.
The
exact
form
of
the
name
will
vary
by
server.
However,
the
file
location
is
normally
relative
to
the
SFTP,
FTP
or
TFTP
directory
(usually
tftpboot
).
5.
Enter
your
username
and
password
for
the
server,
if
applicable.
6.
The
system
prompts
you
to
confirm
your
request.
Next,
select
a
software
image
to
run,
as
described
in
the
following
section.
