Release Notes

NOTE: Dell EMC Networking strongly recommends using the Management Interface to upgrade the new image in both BMP
mode and the Upgrade System CLI. Using front-end ports takes more time (approximately 25 minutes) to download and
install new image due to the large file size.
NOTE: If you are using bare metal provisioning (BMP), see the Bare Metal Provisioning chapter in the Open Automation
Guide.

3. Upgrade the Dell EMC Networking OS on all C9010 RPMs, line cards, and attached PEs.
EXEC Privilege mode
upgrade system-image all {flash: | ftp: | scp: | tftp:| usbflash:} file-url [A: | B:]
Where {flash: | ftp: | scp: | tftp:| usbflash:} file-url specifies the file transfer method and location of the software image file
used to upgrade the C9010, and is in one of the following formats:
● ftp://user-id:password@host-ip/file-path
● scp://user-id:password@host-ip/file-path
● tftp://host-ip/file-path
● flash://directory-path/filename
● usbflash://directory-path/filename
NOTE:
Dell EMC Networking recommends using FTP to copy the new image with the upgrade system command due
to the large file size.
