1. Copy the device software image file to the appropriate TFTP directory on the
workstation.
2. Log into the switch through the console port or through a Telnet session. If you log in
using Telnet, your Telnet session will disconnect when you reset the switch to run the
new software.
3. Make sure there is enough free space on the device file system. Use “dir” command
for this. Free disk space should be at least 0.5MB larger then the downloaded
application size.
Example:
device-name#dir

4. If there is not enough free space, delete unnecessary files. This is done by using “del”
command.
device-name#del
Example:
device-name#del /Boot/Oldimage.bin
5. Download the device software image from the TFTP server using the copy
application command in Privileged (Enable) mode:
device-name#copy application []
Example:
device-name#copy application tftp://192.192.54.10/M2404Cv2.0.bin
NOTE The switch remains operational while the image is downloaded.
The application is downloaded into /Boot directory.
