Upgrading the device’s multi-service IronWare image
Perform the following steps to upgrade the NetIron CES and NetIron CER 2000 Series device’s
Multi-Service IronWare image (primary or secondary).
1. Copy the new Multi-Service IronWare image from the TFTP server to the code flash. To perform
this step, enter one of the following commands at the Privileged EXEC level of the CLI:
• copy tftp flash <ip-addr> <image-name> primary | secondary
For information about the image name to specify, refer to Table 13.
2. Verify that the new Multi-Service IronWare image has been successfully copied to the specified
destination by entering one of the following commands at the Privileged EXEC level of the CLI:
• show flash (if the destination was code flash)
• dir /<path-name>/
Check for the primary or secondary image and the date and time that it was placed in the
directory.

information. If you have completed upgrading the software images, you must reboot the device
to complete the upgrade process.
Configuration files upload and download
For easy configuration management, the device supports both the download and upload of
configuration files between the device and a TFTP server on the network.
You can upload either the startup configuration file or the running configuration to the TFTP server,
or code flash and use in booting the system:
• Startup configuration file – This file (startup-config) contains the configuration information
that is currently saved in the NetIron CES and NetIron CER 2000 Series device’s code flash. To
display this file, enter the show configuration command at any CLI prompt.
• Running configuration – This active configuration is in the system RAM but not yet saved to
code flash. These changes could represent a short-term requirement or general configuration
change. To display this configuration, enter the show running-config or write terminal
command at any CLI prompt.
Each device can have one startup configuration file and one running configuration. The startup
configuration file is shared by both flash modules. The running configuration resides in DRAM.
