14 Release Note
Rapier Switch Software Release 2.1.0
C613-10200-01 Rev A
The PATCH parameter specifies the patch file for this install, and is a file name
of the form
device:filename.ext
. The patch file is stored in FLASH. The
default value for the device field is
FLASH
. If the patch name is not given, the
patch file information for a given install is removed and only the release file
will be loaded for the install.
A patch file can not be set up for an install unless a release file is already set up,
or a release file is specified in the same command. This stops the inadvertent
setting of an install to be just a patch file. When the switch reboots in such a
case the particular install is ignored, which may have undesirable effects on the
switch operation.
For security reasons this command will only be accepted if the user has SECURITY
OFFICER privilege.
To delete a particular install (except the default install) use the command:
DELETE INSTALL
To display the current install information, including which install is currently
running in the switch, and how the install information was checked at the last
reboot, use the command:
SHOW INSTALL
Figure 7: Example output from the SHOW INSTALL command.
Downloading Releases and Patches into the Switch
The LOADER module is responsible for loading and storing releases, patches
and other files into FLASH. The LOADER module uses the Trivial File Transfer
Protocol (TFTP), Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) or ZMODEM over an
asynchronous port, to retrieve files from a network host. The FFS module is
used to create, write and destroy release and patch files.
The loader can be configured with the command:
Install Release Patch Dmp
