Parameters
-
coldboot
- Downloads the firmware to the system and reboots both the device.
-
directory
directory
- Specifies a fully qualified path to the directory where the firmware is located.
-
file
filename
- Specifies the firmware .plist file. This parameter is optional; if unspecified, the default file, release.plist, is used.
-
host

- hostname

- host_ip_address

-
manual
- Currently, this keyword has no effect.
-
noactivate
- Performs a firmware download without activation on the local switch.
-
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 switch manually. If auto-commit mode was disabled, you must perform a manual firmware
commit operation after the switch comes back up.
-
password
password
- Specifies the account password.
-
user
username
- Specifies the user login name for the host.
-
use-vrf
vrf-id
-
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.
Modes
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.
In addition, default-config causes the loss of configuration because it resets the configuration back to the default settings during the firmware upgrade process.
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
This example downloads firmware by means of SFTP and specifies a path to the directory where the firmware is located. A user login name is specified for the host and an account password is specified.
