Downloading an Image or Boot Code File From the System
Boot Prompt
You can download and install a new image or boot code file at the system boot
prompt using the TFTP and XMODEM protocols. This process may be necessary
when the application software does not execute due to a corrupted software
image or boot code file and, as a result, you cannot access the CLI or web-based
interface utilities for downloading and installing new software.
If the switch is connected to a network, you can obtain IP information for the switch
via DHCP, and then use TFTP to download the file.
If no network connection is available, and the switch is connected through its serial
console port to a management station, you can use the XMODEM protocol to
download the file.
NOTE This process requires a management system that is connected to the serial
console port on the switch and has a terminal emulation program, such as Tera Term
or HyperTerminal. Configure the utility with the following parameters:
• 115200 bits per second
• 8 data bits
• no parity
• 1 stop bit
• no flow control
See your product Quick Start Guide for more information on setting up the
console port connection.

STEP 3 Power up the switch.
