6.3.2  dload

Syntax:

dload  [-i Number] [-s] [-l] [-f] [IpAddress] [Filename{127}]

where 

-i

= This option specifies the index number of the image file to 

overwrite.  

-f

= This option forces the device to save the image file even if the 

signature and/or compression is incompatible. 

-l

= This option overwrites the first image file with the downloaded 

image file. 

-s

= Downloads a secured image file and overwrites to the current image 

file. 

This command sets the device to download an image file from a TFTP server. After the image 
is downloaded to the device successfully, the device automatically reboots.

If you don’t specify an image filename and/or TFTP server IP address, the device reloads the 
image file from memory. 

The following example sets the Prestige to download an image file (

imag.bin

) from the 

TFTP server (

192.168.100.100)

and stores it in image file 2 (

-i2

).
