disconnect

Use the disconnect command to close an active console port or Telnet session.

disconnect {ip_addr | console}

Syntax Description

ip_addr	IP address or IP alias.
console	Keyword to denote an active console port.

Defaults

This command has no default settings.

Command Types

Switch command.

Command Modes

Privileged.

Usage Guidelines

If multiple sessions from the same IP address exist, the disconnect command checks if the current process is also from the same IP address. If it is not, all Telnet sessions from the specified IP address are disconnected. If it is, all sessions, other than the current session, are disconnected. The system prompts whether to disconnect the current Telnet session. You can answer n and remain connected or answer y and be disconnected.

Examples

This example shows how to close a Telnet session to host 198.134.214.4:

Console> (enable) disconnect 198.134.214.4

Telnet session from 198.134.214.4 disconnected. (1)

Console> (enable)

This example shows how to close the current console session:

Console> (enable) disconnect console

Console session disconnected.

download

Use the download command set to copy a software image from a specified host to the Flash memory of a designated module.

download host file [mod] [rcp]

download serial

download bootflash:file [mod] [rcp] boot

download slot0:file [mod] [rcp] boot

Syntax Description

host	Name or IP address of host.
file	Name of file to be downloaded.
mod	(Optional) Number of the module to receive the downloaded image.
rcp	(Optional) Keyword to specify rcp as the file transfer method.
serial	Keyword to specify download through a serial port.
bootflash:	Keyword to specify download from bootflash.
slot0	Keyword to specify download from slot 0.
boot	Keyword to download an image to the boot ROM of a module.

Defaults

If a module number is not specified, the image is downloaded to all modules for which the image is valid.

Command Types

Switch command.

Command Modes

Privileged.

Usage Guidelines

Catalyst 6000 family switches download new code to the processors using Kermit serial download through the EIA/TIA-232 console port.

The download command downloads code to the module Flash memory. Catalyst 6000 family switch software rejects an image if it is not a valid image for the module.

The download serial command uses Kermit through the serial EIA/TIA-232 console port. The download serial command is not allowed from a Telnet session.

If you specify the module number, the download goes to the specified module, but the download will fail if the module is of a different type than is indicated by the download header. If you do not specify the module number, the download goes to all modules of that type.

---

Caution After starting the serial download using Kermit, do not attempt to abort the serial download by pressing Ctrl-C. Pressing Ctrl-C interrupts the download process and could leave the switch in a problematic state. If this occurs, reboot the switch.

download vmps

Use the download vmps command to download VMPS database information from a TFTP server.

download vmps mod [rcp]

Syntax Description

mod	Number of the module to receive a downloaded image.
rcp	(Optional) Keyword to copy an image from a specified host to Flash using rcp.

Defaults

There is no default setting for this command.

Command Types

Switch command.

Command Modes

Privileged.

Usage Guidelines

Before you can execute the download vmps command successfully, you must use the set vmps downloadserver command to configure the IP address of the TFTP server and the name of the VMPS configuration file on that server. If the IP address of the TFTP server is not configured, the download vmps command reports an error. If the configuration filename is not configured, the download vmps command uses the default filename vmps-config-database.1.

After a successful download, the new VMPS information replaces any existing information. If there are not enough resources to build the new configuration database, the VMPS is made inactive.

Examples

This example shows the download vmps command and typical system responses:

Console> (enable) download vmps

configuration file is in progress.
