Software Download and Reboot Software Download Through TFTP Server This section contains instructions for downloading switch software (system and boot images) through a TFTP server. The TFTP server must be available on the network before downloading the software. The switch boots and runs when decompressing the system image from the flash memory area where a copy of the system image is stored. Notice: You must run the boot system command to activate the newly downloaded image. On the next boot, the switch decompresses and runs the currently active system image unless chosen otherwise. To download an image through the TFTP server: 1. Ensure that an IP address is configured on the out-of-band interface and pings can be sent to a TFTP server. 2. Ensure that the file to be downloaded is saved on the TFTP server (the .stk file). 3. Enter the command show version to verify which software version is currently running on the switch. The following is an example of the information that appears: console>show version Image Descriptions image1 : default image image2 : Images currently available on Flash unit image1 image2 current-activenext-active 1 3.1.0.4 3.1.0.4 image1 image1 4. Enter the command copy tftp://{tftp address}/{file name} image to copy a new system image to the switch. When the new image is downloaded, it is saved in the area allocated for the other copy of system image (image2, as given in the example). The following is an example of the information that appears: console#copy tftp://10.254.24.64/pc62xxr0v34.stk image Mode TFTP Set TFTP Server IP 10.254.24.64 TFTP Path Configuring Dell PowerConnect 85
