n If the switch has two fabrics, you also can copy the host and Boot ROM program files to the standby Fabric.
Step 2: Specify the next boot program. If the switch has two fabrics, specify the load programs respectively for the active and standby fabrics. Suppose the current standby fabric is at slot 7.
■Load Boot ROM program
<3Com> boot bootrom flash:/Switchbtm.btm slot 6 <3Com> boot bootrom slot7#flash:/Switchbtm.btm slot 7
■Load host program
<3Com> boot
n | The URL form of the files in the standby fabric file system must start with | ||
“slot[No.]#flash:/”, where [No.] is the standby fabric number. | |||
| <3Com> display |

| The app to boot of board 6 at the next time | is: flash:/SWITCH002.app | |
| The app to boot of board 6 at this time is: | flash:/SWITCH002.app | |
| The app to boot of board 7 | at the next time | is: flash:/SWITCH002.app |
| The app to boot of board 7 | at this time is: flash:/SWITCH002.app | |
| <3Com> reboot |

c CAUTION:
■You must reboot the switch using the reboot command to validate the host program. If Flash memory space is not enough, you can delete some of the program files in Flash after completing the Boot ROM loading. (You are recommended to delete the host program that is no longer in use.) Then upload the host program to the switch using FTP.
■Make sure that you have saved other configurations before rebooting; otherwise, they might not survive a reboot.
■
Boot ROM and host program loading is completed now.
Remote and local loading using TFTP
Using TFTP is similar to using FTP in remote and local loading via commands. The only difference is that you use the tftp get command to download software to the switch. In this case, the switch can only be used as a TFTP client to download the software to its Flash memory from the TFTP server. The remaining steps after downloading are the same as those of remote loading using FTP.
Application Module If you have the 360G Fabric (3C17508), download the application software image Program Upgrade files to the compact flash (CF) and then boot from the CF.
