The specified file list will be used as the main startup software images at the
next reboot on slot 2.
3) (Optional) If the IRF fabric size has a lot of members, enable the software auto-update
function.
<Switch> system-view
[Switch] irf auto-update enable
[Switch] quit
Software auto-update is typically used for synchronizing the software images of the master
switch to new member switches when you expand the IRF fabric. This function enables a
Standby switch to compare its main startup software image version with that of the IRF
master. If the versions are different, the Standby switch automatically downloads the
current software images from the master, sets the downloaded images as the main
software images at the next reboot, and automatically reboots with the new images to
re-join the IRF fabric. In this upgrade process, the function avoids the failure of assign all
the Standby switches the same main software image file as the master switch causing an
upgrade failure.
