of 10.28.227.103:
1. Execute the copy command as shown below:
ProCurve # copy tftp flash 10.28.227.103 K_11_1x.swi
The primary OS image will be deleted. continue [y/n]? Y

2. When the switch finishes downloading the software file from the server, it displays the progress
message

3. When the CLI prompt re-appears, the switch is ready to reboot to activate the downloaded
software:
Use the show flash command to verify that the new software version is in the expected flash

area (primary or secondary)
b. Reboot the switch from the flash area that holds the new software (primary or secondary),
using the following command:
Syntax: boot system flash [ < primary | secondary > ]
After the switch reboots, it displays the CLI or Main Menu, depending on the Logon Default setting
last configured in the menu's Switch Setup screen.

through the show system-information command), and viewing the Software revision field.

Xmodem Download From a PC or Unix Workstation

This procedure assumes that:
The switch is connected via the Console RS-232 port to a PC operating as a terminal. (Refer
■
to the Installation and Getting Started Guide you received with the switch for information
on connecting a PC as a terminal and running the switch console interface.)
■ The switch software is stored on a disk drive in the PC.
The terminal emulator you are using includes the Xmodem binary transfer feature. (For
■
example, in the HyperTerminal application included with Windows NT, you would use the
Send File option in the Transfer drop-down menu.)
Using Xmodem and a terminal emulator, you can download a switch software file to either primary
or secondary flash using the CLI.
