Downloading Switch Software
Syntax:
copy tftp flash < ip-addr > < /os/primary > | < /os/secondary > [ primary |
secondary ] [oobm]
This command (executed in the destination switch) gives you
the most options for downloading between switches. If you do
not specify either a primary or secondary flash location for
the destination, the download automatically goes to primary
flash.
For switches that have a separate out-of-band management
port, the oobm parameter specifies that the TFTP traffic must
come in through the out-of-band management interface. If this
parameter is not specified, the TFTP traffic comes in through
the data interface. The oobm parameter is not available on
switches that do not have a separate out-of-band management
port. Refer to Appendix I, “Network Out-of-Band Management”
in this guide for more information on out-of-band
management.
For example, to download a software file from secondary flash in a switch
with an IP address of 10.28.227.103 to the secondary flash in a destination
switch, you would execute the following command in the destination switch’s
CLI:
