AppendixB Working with the Cisco IOS File System, Configuration Files, and Software Images Working with Software Images
The archive upload-sw privileged EXEC command builds an imag e file on the server by u ploading these
files in order: info, the Cisco IOS image, and the web management files. After these files are uploaded,
the upload algorithm creates the file format.
Caution For the download and upload algorithms to operate properly, do not rename image names.
Copying an Image File from One Stack Member to Another
For switch stacks, the archive download-sw and archive upload-sw privileged EXEC commands can
be used only through the stack master. Software images downloaded to the stack master are
automatically downloaded to the rest of the stack members.
To upgrade a switch that has an incompatible software ima ge, use the ar chive co py-sw privileged EXEC
command to copy the software image from an existing stack member to the one that has incompat ible
software. That switch automatically reloads and joins the stack as a fully functioning member.
Note To us e the archive copy-sw privileged EXEC command, you must have downloaded from a TFTP server
the images for both the stack member switch being added and the stack master. You use the archive
download-sw privileged EXEC command to perform the download.
Step5 end Return to privileged EXEC mode.
