Copying Software Images
Using the CLI commands described in this section, you can copy software
images from the switch to another device using tftp, xmodem, or usb.
Note For details on how switch memory operates, including primary and secondary
flash, refer to Chapter 6, “Switch Memory and Configuration”.
TFTP: Copying a Software Image to a Remote Host
Syntax: copy flash tftp < ip-addr > < filename > [oobm]
This command copies the primary flash image to a TFTP
server.
For switches that have a separate out-of-band management
port, the oobm parameter specifies that the transfer will be
through the out-of-band management interface. If this
parameter is not specified, the transfer will be 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 copy the primary flash to a TFTP server having an IP address
of 10.28.227.105:
ProCurve# copy flash tftp 10.28.227.105 k0800.swi
where k0800.swi is the filename given to the flash image being copied.
Xmodem: Copying a Software Image from the Switch to a
Serially Connected PC or UNIX Workstation
To use this method, the switch must be connected via the serial port to a PC
or UNIX workstation.
Syntax: copy flash xmodem < pc | unix >
Uses Xmodem to copy a designated configuration file from the
switch to a PC or Unix workstation.
