Note: The download file must be a binary software file for this switch.

13.After the file has been downloaded, you are prompted with “Update Image File:” to specify the type of code file. Press <R> for runtime code, <D> for diagnostic code, or <L> for loader code.

Note: If you select <L> for loader code, be sure the file is a valid loader code file for the switch. If you download an invalid file, the switch will not be able to boot. Unless absolutely necessary, do not attempt to download loader code files.

14.Specify a name for the downloaded code file. File names are case-sensitive, should be from 1 to 31 characters, not contain slashes (\ or /), and the leading letter of the file name should not be a period

(.). (Valid characters: A-Z, a-z, 0-9, “.”, “-”, “_”)
