  1. Run the command: copy usb flash FILE_NAME primary or copy tftp 10.10.0.81 FILE_NAME primary, depending on the source available/method available.

  2. Verify that the switch was successfully flashed by checking the version, by using show ver (shows what version of flash is currently loaded on the switch) and show flash (shows what the currently booted image is, as well as the Primary and Secondary boot images).

  1. Reboot the switch, by pulling out the power cable, if the switches booted flash version is not the same as the Primary flash version.

A summary of the above:

show run
show version
show flash
wr mem
copy run tftp 10.10.0.81 NAME
copy tftp flash 10.10.0.81 name.swi primary

## it will then say:
#The Primary OS Image will be deleted, continue [y/n]?

show flash
reload

## it will then say:
# System will be rebooted from primary image. Do you want to continue [y/n]?
# Do you want to save the current configuration [y/n]?

show version
show flash
