2.5.2 Running the Downgrade.exe Script

After you verify that the switch has enough memory for the downgrade, run the Downgrade.exe script as
follows:
1. Copy the Downgrade.exe and Downgrade<version>.image file to the switch using copy ftp system
command
copy ftp system -u <user_name>
2. Enter the Downgrade.exe filename, IP Address, and password at the system prompt.
3. Log into the service mode CLI using service command from the cfg context (under system context).
4. Run the following service mode CLI command:
exec Downgrade.exe
5. Enter Downgrade<version>.image as the image filename (version corresponds to the
version to which you downgrade the switch from 2.0).
The switch is downgraded to the corresponding version.
