Command Default
By default, downloads the firmware to the
system, reboots the system, and commits the firmware automatically. The user can
specify noactivate
firmware download
to download the firmware to the system without activating it (the node is not
rebooted). The user can run firmware activate later to activate the firmware.
Parameters
-
coldboot
- Downloads the firmware to the system and
reboots the device.
-
directory
directory

-
manual
- Currently, this keyword has no effect.
-
noactivate
- Performs a firmware download without activation on the local device.
-
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.
-
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.
-
password
password
- Specifies the account password.
-
use-vrf
vrf-name
-
Specifies a VRF.
-
user
username
- Specifies the user login name for the host.
Modes
Privileged EXEC mode
Usage Guidelines
Use this command to download firmware from an external host.
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.
Examples
