Working with Software Images
This section describes how to archive (download and upload) software image files, which contain the
system software, the Cisco IOS code, and the embedded device manager software.
Instead of using the copy privileged EXEC command or the archive tar privileged EXEC command, we
Note
recommend using the archive download-sw and archive upload-sw privileged EXEC commands to
download and upload software image files.
You can download a switch image file from a TFTP, FTP, or RCP server to upgrade the switch software.
If you do not have access to a TFTP server, you can download a software image file directly to your PC
or workstation by using a web browser (HTTP) and then by using the device manager to upgrade your
switch. For information about upgrading your switch by using a TFTP server or a web browser (HTTP),
see the release notes.

Purpose
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Replace the running configuration file with a saved configuration file.
target-url—URL (accessible by the file system) of the saved configuration file
that is to replace the running configuration, such as the configuration file
created in Step 2 by using the archive config privileged EXEC command.
list—Display a list of the command entries applied by the software parser
during each pass of the configuration replacement operation. The total number
of passes also appears.
force— Replace the running configuration file with the specified saved
configuration file without prompting you for confirmation.
time seconds—Specify the time (in seconds) within which you must enter the
configure confirm command to confirm replacement of the running
configuration file. If you do not enter the configure confirm command within
the specified time limit, the configuration replacement operation is
automatically stopped. (In other words, the running configuration file is
restored to the configuration that existed before you entered the configure
replace command).
You must first enable the configuration archive before you can use the
Note
time seconds command line option.
nolock—Disable the locking of the running configuration file that prevents
other users from changing the running configuration during a configuration
replacement operation.
(Optional) Confirm replacement of the running configuration with a saved
configuration file.
Use this command only if the time seconds keyword and argument of
Note
the configure replace command are specified.
(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
