To create an empty file, enter the touch filename command, where filename is the name of the file you will use when uploading the image to the server. • During upload operations, if you are overwriting an existing file (including an empty file, if you had to create one) on the server, ensure that the permissions on the file are set correctly. Permissions on the file should be world-write. Downloading an Image File by Using TFTP You can download a new image file and replace the current image or keep the current image.

Chapter 17
Managing Firmware and Configurations
Working with Software Images
Before uploading the image file, you might need to create an empty file on the TFTP server. To
create an empty file, enter the
touch
filename
command, where
filename
is the name of the file you
will use when uploading the image to the server.
During upload operations, if you are overwriting an existing file (including an empty file, if you had
to create one) on the server, ensure that the permissions on the file are set correctly. Permissions on
the file should be world-write.
Downloading an Image File by Using TFTP
You can download a new image file and replace the current image or keep the current image.
Caution
For the download and upload algorithms to operate properly, do
not
rename image directories.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow Steps 1 through 3 to download a new image from a TFTP
server and overwrite the existing image.
Command
Purpose
Step 1
.
Copy the image to the appropriate TFTP directory on the
workstation. Make sure the TFTP server is properly configured; see
the
“Preparing to Download or Upload an Image File by Using
TFTP” section on page 17-20
Step 2
Log into the bridge through a Telnet session.
Step 3
archive download-sw /overwrite /reload
tftp:
[[
//
location
]
/
directory
]
/
image-name
Download the image file from the TFTP server to the bridge, and
overwrite the current image.
The
/overwrite
option overwrites the software image in Flash
with the downloaded image.
The
/reload
option reloads the system after downloading the
image unless the configuration has been changed and not
saved.
For
//
location
, specify the IP address of the TFTP server.
For /
directory
/
image-name
, specify the directory (optional)
and the image to download. Directory and image names are
case sensitive.
Step 4
archive download-sw /leave-old-sw /reload
tftp:
[[
//
location
]
/
directory
]
/
image-name
Download the image file from the TFTP server to the bridge, and
keep the current image.
The
/leave-old-sw
option keeps the old software version after
a download.
The
/reload
option reloads the system after downloading the
image unless the configuration has been changed and not
saved.
For
//
location
, specify the IP address of the TFTP server.
For /
directory
/
image-name
, specify the directory (optional)
and the image to download. Directory and image names are
case sensitive.
