/image-name.tar
To avoid an unsuccessful download, use the archive download-sw /safe command, which downloads
Note
the image first and does not delete the current running version until the download succeeds.
The download algorithm verifies that the image is appropriate for the access point model and that enough
DRAM is present, or it aborts the process and reports an error. If you specify the /overwrite option, the
download algorithm removes the existing image on the Flash device, whether or not it is the same as the
new one, downloads the new image, and then reloads the software.
Note If the Flash device has sufficient space to hold two images and you want to overwrite one of these images
with the same version, you must specify the /overwrite option.
