G8264CS Command Reference for ENOS 8.4
The switch can store up to two different software images, called image1 and
image2, as well as boot software, called boot. When you load new software, you
must specify where it should be placed: either into image1, image2 or boot.
For example, if your active image is currently loaded into image1, you would
probably load the new image software into image2. This lets you test the new
software and reload the original active image (stored in image1), if needed.
To load a new software image to your switch, you need the following:
 The image or boot software loaded on a SFTP/FTP/TFTP server on your network
 The hostname or IP address of the SFTP/FTP/TFTP server
 The name of the new software image or boot file
Note: The DNS parameters must be configured if specifying hostnames.
When the above requirements are met, use the following procedure to download
the new software to your switch.
