Downloading a New Image
The image file contains the executable code that runs on the switch. It comes preinstalled from the
factory. As new versions of the image are released, you should upgrade the software running on your
system.
The image is upgraded by using a download procedure from either a Trivial File Transfer Protocol
(TFTP) server on the network. Downloading a new image involves the following steps:
Load the new image onto a TFTP server on your network (if you will be using TFTP).
Download the new image to the switch
On stacked configurations, you can downloaded a new image through any port other than the stacking
ports. The image that each slot is to use is stored in flash memory on that slot. You can specify which
image a slot is to use by entering the following command on the stack master switch.
use image [primary|secondary] slot <n> | all
where:
primary
Specifies the primary image.
secondary
Specifies the secondary image.
slot <n>
Specifies the slot number of the switch.
all
Specifies all slots on the switch.
