Procedure 6-21.2: Copy VLNC4x/VLNC6x software image from one Image slot to the other Image slot

- Overview

The VLNC4x/VLNC6x contains up to two software loads, referred to as Image1 and Image2. Use this procedure to copy one software load from one image slot to the other image slot. This is done so that the system has a backup in case one image slot becomes corrupted.

The copy <source> <destination> command uploads and downloads files to and from the switch. You can also use the copy command to manage dual images (image1 and image2) on the file system. Upload and download files from a server by using TFTP/SFTP or Xmodem.

This procedure assumes that the VLNC4x/VLNC6x has been previously installed.

Refer to the Alcatel-Lucent 1850 Transport Service Switch (TSS-5) Command Line Interface Guide, for help on using CLI commands.
