2. When the switch finishes downloading the software file from the server,
it displays this progress message:
Validating and Writing System Software to FLASH ...
3. When the download finishes, you must reboot the switch to implement
the newly downloaded software image. To do so, use one of the following
commands:
Syntax: boot system flash < primary | secondary >
Boots from the selected flash.
Syntax: reload
Boots from the flash image and startup-config file. A switch
covered in this guide (with multiple configuration files), also
uses the current startup-config file.
(For more on these commands, refer to "Rebooting the Switch" on page
6-19.)
4. To confirm that the software downloaded correctly, execute show system
and check the Firmware revision line.
For information on primary/secondary flash memory and the boot commands,
refer to "Using Primary and Secondary Flash Image Options" on page 6-14.
If you use auto-tftp to download a new image in a redundant management
system, the active management module downloads the new image to both the
active and standby modules. Rebooting after the auto-tftp process completes
reboots the entire system.
This message means that the image you
want to upload will replace the image
currently in primary flash.
