cleanup

 

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.

 

install

 

Downloads firmware from a remote host to the switch, installs the firmware, then

 

resets the switch (without a power-on self test) to activate the firmware. If

 

possible, a non-disruptive activation is performed. The command prompts you for

 

the following:

 

„ IP address of the remote host

 

„ An account name and password on the remote host

 

„ Pathname for the firmware image file

 

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.

To install firmware when the management workstation has an FTP server, use the Image Install command or the ”Firmware Install Command” on page A-18. To install firmware when the management workstation does not have an FTP server, do the following:

1. Connect to the switch through the Ethernet port or the serial port.
