Parameters
-
coldboot
- Downloads the firmware to the system and reboots the device.
-
manual
- Currently, this keyword has no effect.
-
nocommit
- Disables auto-commit mode. When auto-commit mode is disabled, firmware is downloaded only to the primary partition. You must execute the firmware
commit command manually to propagate the new image to the secondary partition. (Skips auto-commit after firmware download.)
-
noreboot
- Disables auto-reboot mode. When auto-reboot mode is disabled, you must reboot the device manually. If auto-commit mode was disabled, you must perform a manual firmware
commit operation after the device comes back up.
-
host

- hostname

- host_ip_address

Use this option to specify the name of the VRF where the host is located. If this option is not set, mgmt-vrf is used by default.

Privileged EXEC mode.
Usage Guidelines
Use this command to download firmware from an external host or from an attached USB device. You can run this command interactively or provide the parameters on the command line.
Unless you specify
noactivate, the upgrade or downgrade involves system reboots
that disrupt traffic.
If the
firmware download command is interrupted because of an unexpected reboot, such as a result of a software error or power failure, the command automatically recovers the corrupted secondary partition. Wait for the recovery to complete before beginning another firmware download.
This command does not support pagination.
