Release Notes for Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3120 for HP, Cisco IOS Release 12.2(40)EX1
OL-12250-01
Installation Notes
Step 5 (Optional) Ensure that you have IP connectivity to the TFTP server by entering this privileged EXEC
command:
Switch# ping
tftp-server-address
For more information about assigning an IP address and default gateway to the switch, see the software
configuration guide for this release.
Step 6 Download the image file from the TFTP server to the switch. If you are installing the same version of
software that is currently on the switch, overwrite the current image by entering this privileged EXEC
command:
Switch# archive download-sw /overwrite /reload
tftp:[[//
location
]/
directory
]/
image-name
.tar
The /overwrite option overwrites the software image in flash memory with the downloaded one.
The /reload option reloads the system after downloading the image unless the configuration has been
changed and not saved.
For //location, specify the IP address of the TFTP server.
For /directory/image-name.tar, specify the directory (optional) and the image to download. Directory
and image names are case sensitive.
This example shows how to download an image from a TFTP server at 198.30.20.19 and to overwrite
the image on the switch:
Switch# archive download-sw /overwrite
tftp://198.30.20.19/cbs31x0-universal-tar.122-40.EX1.tar
You can also download the image file from the TFTP server to the switch and keep the current image by
replacing the /overwrite option with the /leave-old-sw option.
Recovering from a Software Failure
For additional recovery procedures, see the “Troubleshooting” chapter in the software configuration
guide for this
release.
