Working with Software Images Chapter 17 Managing Firmware and Configurations Step 7 Command archive download-sw /leave-old-sw /reload rcp:[[[//[username@]location]/directory]/image-na me.tar] Purpose Download the image file from the RCP 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 //username, specify the username. For the RCP copy request to execute, an account must be defined on the network server for the remote username. For more information, see the "Preparing to Download or Upload an Image File by Using RCP" section on page 17-27. • For @location, specify the IP address of the RCP server. • For /directory]/image-name.tar, specify the directory (optional) and the image to download. Directory and image names are case sensitive. Note To avoid an unsuccessful download, use the archive download-sw /safe command, which downloads the image first and does not delete the current running version until the download succeeds. The download algorithm verifies that the image is appropriate for the bridge model and that enough DRAM is present, or it aborts the process and reports an error. If you specify the /overwrite option, the download algorithm removes the existing image on the Flash device whether or not it is the same as the new one, downloads the new image, and then reloads the software. Note If the Flash device has sufficient space to hold two images and you want to overwrite one of these images with the same version, you must specify the /overwrite option. If you specify the /leave-old-sw, the existing files are not removed. If there is not enough room to install the new image an keep the running image, the download process stops, and an error message is displayed. The algorithm installs the downloaded image onto the system board Flash device (flash:). The image is placed into a new directory named with the software version string, and the BOOT environment variable is updated to point to the newly installed image. If you kept the old software during the download process (you specified the /leave-old-sw keyword), you can remove it by entering the delete /force /recursive filesystem:/file-url privileged EXEC command. For filesystem, use flash: for the system board Flash device. For file-url, enter the directory name of the old software image. All the files in the directory and the directory are removed. 17-30 Cisco Aironet 1400 Series Wireless Bridges Software Configuration Guide OL-4059-01
