User Guidelines
The Upgrade command prompts the user for required information. The TFTP server IP address and the software image file name on the server must be specified.
During the upgrade process, a series of dots appear representing the upgrade process in the CLI interface. When the upgrade process is completed, the command prompt reappears.
The Dual Software Image feature is supported, therefore the next boot after the Upgrade command will always use the newly downloaded image.
