Allows the user to select firmware download parameters interactively before starting a firmware download.
By default, firmware download downloads the firmware to the system, reboots the system, and commits the firmware automatically.
Privileged EXEC mode
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.
