NETGEAR 8800 Chassis Switch CLI Manual Using SFTP and SCP2 SFTP and SCP2 provide secure methods of downloading the NETGEAR 8800 software image files, *.xos or *.xmod. You can use one of three procedures: • From the switch, running the command SCP2. connect to and "get" from a remote server. This is similar to the download image command. • From outside the switch, connect to the switch which is acting as the server and "put" from the remote server. There is no TFTP equivalent for this method. • Using SFTP, or • Using SCP2. Examples of these procedures are included in the Examples section that starts on page 1317. Usage Guidelines Prior to downloading an image on the switch, you must download the image you received from NETGEAR to a TFTP server on your network. You can also download the image to the external compact flash memory card. Note: The download image command in the NETGEAR 8800 causes the switch to use the newly downloaded software image during the next switch reboot. To modify or reset the software image used during a switch reboot, use the use image command. Specify the ipaddress or hostname parameters to download an image from a TFTP server on the network. Use of the hostname parameter requires that DNS be enabled. Core Software Images The switch can store up to two core images: a primary and a secondary. When downloading a new image, you select which partition (primary or secondary) to install the new image. The NETGEAR 8800 core image must be downloaded and installed to the alternate partition. Image Filenames The software image file can be an .xos file, which contains a NETGEAR 8800 core image, or an .xmod file, which contains a NETGEAR 8800 modular software package. Modular software packages have additional functionality that supplement a core image. Displaying the Software Image Versions To display the software image version running on the switch, use the show version or show switch commands. 1310 | Appendix A. Configuration and Image Commands
