DESCRIPTION
Use this command to download switch firmware from an FTP or SSH server or local NFS directory to
nonvolatile storage. Switch firmware can also be downloaded from an external USB device on platforms
that support USB.
The new firmware is downloaded as a bundle of packages. Package names are defined in a *.plist file
along with other firmware information (time stamp, platform code, version, etc.). These packages are
made available periodically to add features or to remedy defects. Contact customer support to obtain
information about available firmware versions.
On enterprise-class platforms, this command, by default, downloads the firmware image to both control
processors (CPs) in rollover mode to prevent disruption to application services. This operation depends
on High Availability (HA) support. If HAis not available, use the -s option to upgrade the CPs one at a
time.
