The following prompt is displayed:

Do you want to show remote switch burning flash ->
[Yes/No]

6. You can respond with Yes or No to this prompt. It does not affect the

upload.

The following prompt is displayed:

Do you want confirmation before downloading each
switch -> [Yes/No]

7. If you answer Yes to this prompt, the management software displays

a confirmation message before uploading the image file to a switch.
If you answer No, the management software does not display a
confirmation prompt before uploading the file.

The management software begins the upload. The management
software notifies you when the upload is complete.

After receiving the file, a switch compares the version numbers of the
new and existing image files. If the new image file has the same or an
earlier version number as the file in the application block, the switch
cancels the update process. If the new image file has a newer version
number, the switch writes the file to the application block portion of
flash memory and then resets.

Caution

The switch will not forward network traffic while writing the image
to flash and during the reset process. This can take several minutes
to complete.
