System Image Download
When the device boots, it decompresses the system image from the flash
memory area and runs it. When a new image is downloaded, it is saved in the
other area allocated for the other system image copy.
On the next boot, the device decompresses and runs the image from the
currently active system image.
A system image can be downloaded through a TFTP server.
To download the system image from a TFTP server, ensure that an IP address
is configured on one of the device ports and pings can be sent to the TFTP
server. In addition, ensure that the file to be downloaded is saved on the
TFTP server.
To download a system image through the TFTP server:
1 Enter the show version command, to verify which software version is
currently running on the device. The following is an example of the
