Syntax Descriptionfcdomainfcdomainfcdomainfcdomain
None
Defaults
Disabled
Command Modes
Configuration mode
Usage Guidelines
In-order delivery of data frames guarantees frame delivery to a destination in the same order that they were sent by the originator.
Examples
switch## config tswitch(config)##switch(config)# in-order-guaranteeswitch(config)#switch(config)# no in-order-guaranteeswitch(config)#init bootloader
To install the bootloader contained in an image, use the init bootloader comand.
init bootloader [bootflash: | slot0:]
Syntax Description
bootflash:
Installs the bootloader contained in the bootflash to the internal disk.
slot0:
Installs the bootloader contained in slot0 to the internal disk.
Defaults
Installs the bootloader contained in the current running kickstart image to the internal disk.
Command Modes
Exec.
Usage Guidelines
None.
Examples
switch# init bootloader bootflash:switch#install sup
To perform a non-disruptive upgrade for the system, use the install sup command.
instal sup {bootflash: | slot0: }
Syntax Description
Defaults
None
Command Modes
EXEC
Usage Guidelines
The install command only upgrades the image.
If any errors occur during this process, the switch is reset to guarantee that the system does not continue with a half installed image. In this case, the switch uses the image that was saved in the SYSTEM environment variable prior to this install procedure.
Examples
switch# install sup bootflash:systemBeginning the install check...Preliminary install check done.Beginning the install process.Parsing of versioning database successful.Preparing file system plan now...Done.Preparing upgrade group plan now...Done.Executing pre-uninstall scripts...Done.Updating the File System for installation...Done.Executing post-install scripts...Done.System Manager will restart the services according to upgrade plan..Done.Installation completed successfully.interface
