Copying a Software Image File to Flash Memory

To copy a software image file from an SCP-enabled client to the primary flash of a RUCKUS ICX device, enter the scp command, the image filename, the ICX username, and the IP address of the RUCKUS ICX device. On the same command line, with no spaces, enter a colon and the keyword flash, another colon and the keyword primary.

C:\> scp SPR08040.bin terry@10.168.1.50:flash:primary

The previous example copies the image file for the FastIron 08.0.40 software release to the a RUCKUS ICX device represented by the username terry and the IP address 10.168.1.50. The image file is copied to primary flash.

The following example is an equivalent command that explicitly includes the identical image filename as the destination filename.

C:\>scp SPR08040.bin terry@10.168.1.50:flash:pri:SPR08040.bin

Use the same command structure to copy a software image file from an SCP-enabled client to the secondary flash on a RUCKUS ICX device, but replace the keyword primary with the keyword secondary as shown in the following example.

C:\> scp SPR08040.bin terry@10.168.1.50:flash:secondary

The following example is an equivalent command explicitly includes the identical image filename as the destination filename. Notice that the keyword sec is used in the command string.

c:\> scp SPR08040.bin user@10.168.1.50:flash:sec:SPR08040.bin
Note: After the copy operation is completed at the host, you do not get the command prompt back because the switch is synchronizing the image to flash. To ensure that you have successfully copied the file, issue the show flash command. If the copy operation is not complete, the show flash command output shows the partition (primary or secondary) as EMPTY.
Note: The RUCKUS ICX device supports only one SCP copy session at a time.
