software that is currently on the switch, overwrite the current image by entering this privileged EXEC

command:

Switch# archive download-sw /overwrite /reload

tftp:[[//location]/directory]/image-name.tar

The /overwrite option overwrites the software image in flash memory with the downloaded one.

The /reload option reloads the system after downloading the image unless the configuration has been

changed and not saved.

For //location, specify the IP address of the TFTP server.

For /directory/image-name.tar, specify the directory (optional) and the image to download. Directory

and image names are case sensitive.

This example shows how to download an image from a TFTP server at 198.30.20.19 and to overwrite

the image on the switch:

Switch# archive download-sw /overwrite tftp://198.30.20.19/cbs30x0lanbase-mz

You can also download the image file from the TFTP server to the switch and keep the current image by

replacing the /overwrite option with the /leave-old-sw option.
