Usage Guidelines
When you download a BootROM image (download bootrom [[ipaddress | hostname] filename {{vr} vrname} {block-size block_size}] {slot slotid} {install} {reboot}}), you are prompted to install the image immediately after the download is finished. If you choose to install the image at a later time, you can use this command to install the software on the switch.
The BootROM image file is designated with a .xtr file extension.
Displaying the BootROM Versions
To display the BootROM version for the switch, use the show version command.
Local File Name Character Restrictions
When specifying a local or remote file name, the switch permits only the following characters:
- Alphabetical letters, upper case and lower case (A-Z, a-z)
- Numerals (0-9)
- Period ( . )
- Dash ( - )
- Underscore ( _ )
SummitStack Only
You can run this command only from the master node.
