Downloading a New Image
ExtremeWare XOS 11.0 Concepts Guide 313
Output from this command includes the selected and booted images and if they are in the primary or
secondary partition.
If two Management Switch Fabric Modules (MSMs) are installed in the BlackDiamond 10808 switch, the
downloaded image is saved to the same location on each one.
You can select which image the switch will load on the next reboot by using the following command:
use image {partition} <partition>
Understanding the Image Version String
The image version string contains build information for each version of ExtremeWare XOS. You can use
either the
show version or show switch command to display the ExtremeWare XOS version running
on your switch.
Depending on the command line interface (CLI) command, the output is structured as follows:
• show version
ExtremeWare XOS Version <major>.<minor>.<patch>.<build>
For example:
ExtremeWare XOS version 10.1.2.16
• show switch
<major>.<minor>.<patch>.<build>
For example:
10.1.2.16
Table 49 describes the image version fields.
Software Signatures
Each ExtremeWare XOS image contains a unique signature. The BootROM checks for signature
compatibility and denies an incompatible software upgrade. In addition, the software checks both the
installed BootROM and software and also denies an incompatible upgrade.
Rebooting the Switch
To reboot the switch, use the following command:
reboot {time <month> <day> <year> <hour> <min> <sec> {msm <slotid>} | cancel {msm
<slotid>}| {msm <slotid>}
