To download a system image through the TFTP server:
1 Ensure that an IP address is configured on one of the Ethernet switch module ports and pings
can be sent to a TFTP server.
2 Ensure that the file to be downloaded is saved on the TFTP server (the ros file).
3 Enter the show version command to verify which software version is currently running on the
Ethernet switch module:
console# show version
4 Enter the show bootvar command to verify which system image is currently active:
console# show bootvar
5 Enter the copy tftp://{tftp address}/{file name} image command to copy a
new system image to the Ethernet switch module. When the new image is downloaded, it is
saved in the area allocated for the other copy of system image (image-2, as given in the
example).
console# copy tftp://176.215.31.3/file1.ros image
• Exclamation symbols indicate that a copying process is in progress. Each symbol (!)
corresponds to 512 bytes transferred successfully.
• A period indicates that the copying process is timed out. Many periods in a row indicate
that the copying process failed.
6 Select the image for the next boot by entering the boot system command. After this
command, enter the show bootvar command to verify that the copy indicated as a
parameter in the boot system command is selected for the next boot.
console# boot system image-2
console# show boot
If the image for the next boot is not selected by entering the boot system command, the
system boots from the currently active image.
7 Enter the reload command:
console# reload
8 Enter y to reboot the module.
The Ethernet switch module reboots.
