Removes all firmware image files from the switch. All firmware image files are

 

removed automatically each time the switch is reset.

 

fetch [account_name] [ip_address] [file_source] [file_destination]

 

Retrieves image file given by [file_source] and stores it on the switch with the file

 

name given by [file_destination]. The image file is retrieved from the FTP server

 

with the IP address given by [ip_address] and an account name given by

 

[account_name]. If an account name needs a password to access the FTP server,

 

the system will prompt you for it.

 

list

 

Displays the list of image files that reside on the switch.

 

unpack [file]

 

Installs the firmware file given by [file]. After unpacking the file, a message

 

appears confirming successful unpacking. The switch must be reset for the new

 

firmware to take effect.

Notes

To provide consistent performance throughout the fabric, ensure that all switches

 

are running the same version of firmware.

Use the Hotreset command to perform a non-disruptive activation.
