Command Mode Privileged Exec Usage Guidelines You must specify type and module if the download is for a module. Downloaded configuration files are executed immediately. If the switch is connected to a console, any errors during execution will generate an error message. The switch attempts to execute all commands, irrespective of failures. When downloading an operation code file, the entire system (including other CLI sessions) is inactive for about 30 seconds after the file is retrieved. Error messages appear in the following situations: ?The operation code file is not in the correct format. ?The host is unreachable (using existing time-out implementation). ?The host aborts the TFTP session. ?The host specified cannot be resolved through DNS. ?The module specified does not have firmware or a configuration that can be downloaded. If other download or upload operations (firmware, configuration, web pages) are in progress, the following message appears: Other downloads or uploads in progress. Please wait until existing download or upload is completed.
