3. When the download finishes, you must reboot the switch to implement the newly downloaded software. To do
so, use one of the following commands:
Syntax:
boot system flash {<primary | secondary>}
Reboots from the selected flash
Syntax:
reload
Reboots from the flash image currently in use
For more information on these commands, see "Rebooting the Switches" in the basic operation guide for your
switch.
4. To confirm that the software downloaded correctly:
switch# show system
Check the Firmware revision line. It should show the software version that you downloaded in the preceding
steps.
If you need information on primary/secondary flash memory and the boot commands, see "Using Primary and
Secondary Flash Image Options" in the basic operation guide for your switch.

Switch-to-switch download

You can use TFTP to transfer a software image between two switches of the same series. The CLI enables all
combinations of flash location options.

Downloading the OS from another switch (CLI)

Where two switches in your network belong to the same series, you can download a software image between
them by initiating a copy tftp command from the destination switch. The options for this CLI feature include:
• Copy from primary flash in the source to either primary or secondary in the destination.
• Copy from either primary or secondary flash in the source to either primary or secondary flash in the
destination.
Downloading from primary only (CLI)
Syntax:
copy tftp flash <ip-addr> flash [primary | secondary]
When executed in the destination switch, downloads the software flash in the source switch's primary flash to
either the primary or secondary flash in the destination switch.
If you do not specify either a primary or secondary flash location for the destination, the download automatically
goes to primary flash.
