2. Log into the switch as the admin user.
3. Enter the following command at the command line (each item must be
included in double quotes):
firmwareDownload [“host”, “user”, “file” [, “passwd”]]
where:
host A host server name or IP address; for example, “ citadel ” or
“ 192.168.1.48 ”. The configuration file or pfile is downloaded
from this host system. If this operand is not used, the pfile is
considered to be accessible through a local directory. This operand
is required.
user A user name for FTP or RSHD server access; for example,
“
jdoe ”. This user name is used to gain access to the host. This
operand is required.
file A path and file name; for example, "/pub/dist/v2.6.0". Absolute
path names may be specified using forward slash (
/ ). Relative
path names create the file in the user’s home directory on UNIX
hosts, and in the directory where the FTP server is running on
Windows hosts. This operand is required.
passwd A password. This operand is required, but may be NULL.
