cleanup
Removes all firmware image files from the switch. All firmware image files are removed
automatically each time the switch is reset.
fetch [account_name] [ip_address] [file_source] [file_destination]
Retrieves image file given by [file_source] using FTP and stores it on the switch with the file name
given by [file_destination]. [ip_address] can be an IP address (version 4 or 6) or a DNS host
name. The image file is retrieved from the host IP address given by [ip_address]. If an account
name needs a password to access the FTP server, the system will prompt you for it.
install
Downloads firmware from a remote host to the switch, installs the firmware, then resets the switch
to activate the firmware. This is disruptive. The command prompts you for the following:
• File transfer protocol (FTP or TFTP)
• IP address or DNS host name of the remote host
• An account name and password on the remote host (FTP only)
• Pathname for the firmware image file
list
Displays the list of image files that reside on the switch.
tftp [ip_address] [file_source] [file_destination]
Retrieves image file given by [file_source] using TFTP and stores it on the switch with the file name
given by [file_destination]. The image file is retrieved from the host IP address given by
[ip_address]. [ip_address] can be an IP address (version 4 or 6) or a DNS host name.
unpack [file]
Installs the firmware file given by [file]. After unpacking the file, a message appears confirming
successful unpacking. The switch must be reset for the new firmware to take effect.
Notes To provide consistent performance throughout the fabric, ensure that all switches are running the
same version of firmware.
To install firmware when the workstation has an FTP server, use the image install command or
the firmware install command.
