The software download process automatically completes without user intervention. The process erases the contents of flash memory and replaces it with a new software image. Take care not to interrupt the download process until after it runs to completion (the process can take up to 10 minutes, depending on network conditions).

When the download process is complete, the switch automatically resets and the new software image initiates a self-test. The system returns a message after successfully downloading a new image.

Figure 86 "download message" (page 231) shows a sample output of the download command.
