CLI: Switch-To-Switch Downloads
You can download a switch software file between two switches that use the
same code base and which are connected on your LAN. To do so, use a copy
tftp command from the destination switch.The options for this CLI feature
include:
■ Copy from primary flash in the source to either primary or secondary in
the destination.
■ Copy from either primary or secondary flash in the source to either
primary or secondary flash in the destination.
Downloading from Primary Only. This command (executed in the destina-
tion switch) downloads the switch software from the source switch’s primary
flash to either the primary or secondary flash in the destination switch.
Syntax: copy tftp flash < ip-addr > flash [primary | secondary]
If you do not specify either a primary or secondary flash location for the
destination, the download automatically goes to primary flash.
For example, to download switch software from primary flash in a switch with
an IP address of 10.28.227.103 to the primary flash in the destination switch,
you would execute the following command in the destination switch’s CLI:
