NETGEAR 8800 Chassis Switch CLI Manual Usage Guidelines When you download a software image, you are asked if you want to install the image immediately after the download is finished. If you choose to install the image at a later time, use this command to install the software on the switch. The software image file can be an .xos file, which contains a NETGEAR 8800 core image, or an .xmod file, which contains additional functionality to supplement a core image. Displaying the Software Image Version To display the software image version running on the switch, use the show version or show switch commands. Displaying the Downloaded Software Image Version. To display a software image version that has been downloaded but not installed, use the install image ? command. Local Filename Character Restrictions This section provides information about the characters supported by the switch for local filenames. When specifying a local filename, the switch permits only the following characters: • Alphabetical letters, upper case and lower case (A-Z, a-z) • Numerals (0-9) • Period ( . ) • Dash ( - ) • Underscore ( _ ) When naming a local, remember the requirements listed above. Installing a NETGEAR 8800 core image Install the software image on the alternate partition. You can continue to run the currently booted image, but to run the newly installed image, you will need to set the boot partition with the use image {partition} {msm } command and reboot the switch. Installing a NETGEAR 8800 module image A NETGEAR 8800 module image has functionality that supplements a core image. You will install a module onto an already installed core image. The version number of the core image and the module must match. For example, the module NG8800-12.4.3.5-1-4-ssh.xmod can only be installed onto the core image NG8800-12.4.3.5-1-4.xos. To install a module to the alternate partition, use the install firmware command to install the module. Remember, the core image on the alternate partition must be of the same version as 1322 | Appendix A. Configuration and Image Commands
