Performing a Software Upgrade at Runtime
The software image file must be downloaded from a server on your network that is running a TFTP server

Downloading Configuration Menu.

7. At the prompt, enter the number of attempts the switch will make to download the image file, then
press Enter.
8. Select the Destination Image Bank by using typing a. In a typical situation, you will want to select
the Bank on which the software is not currently running.
9. To download the image file to the destination bank, type d. This option allows you to change the
boot bank at a later time or to use the System Reset Configuration to schedule a reset, at which
time the new software will be run.
