To perform a serial download, you can optionally change the baud
rate to 38.4K using the
b command, and then pressing the s key to
prepare the switch for an image to be sent from your terminal using
the XMODEM protocol. After this has completed, select the
g
command, to boot the image that is currently in RAM. The switch
restores the console port to 9600 bps, and begins the boot process.
Doing a serial download does not store an image into flash, it only
allows the switch to boot an operational image so that a normal TFTP
upgrade from CLI can then be performed.
Boot Option Commands
Table 14-1 lists the commands associated with switch boot options.
