To do this, enter -> reload working no rollback-timeout at the CLI prompt. Note. This reload process will take a few moments to complete. Certifying Your New Software After the newly-loaded software is considered tested and reliable, it is important that you certify the new software by copying it to the /flash/certified directory. It is also important that you synchronize the contents of the /flash/working and /flash/certified directories on all switches in the stack with the newer contents of the /flash/certified and /flash/working directories on the primary switch. Otherwise, your new software-along with any configuration changes you have made-will be lost if a reboot or failover occurs. To certify and synchronize all new software in the stack, enter the following command: -> copy working certified flash-synchro During this reload, software from the primary switch is distributed to all switches in the stacked configuration. By synchronizing the system software, the primary switch ensures effective redundancy throughout the stack. 56 Loading Software March 2005

effective redundancy throughout the stack.
Certifying Your New Software
After the newly-loaded software is considered tested and reli-
able, it is important that you certify the new software by copy-
ing it to the
/flash/certified
directory.
It is also important that you synchronize the contents of the
/flash/working
and
/flash/certified
directories on
all switches
in the stack with the newer contents of the
/flash/certified
and
/flash/working
directories on the primary switch.
Otherwise, your new software—along with any configuration
changes you have made—will be lost if a reboot or failover
occurs.
To certify and synchronize all new software in the stack, enter
the following command:
-> copy working certified flash-synchro
