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.

Default

This command has no default setting.

Command Type

Switch command.

Command Mode

Privileged.

Usage Guideline

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.
Console> (enable)

telnet

download

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

download host file [mod_num]
download serial
Syntax Description

host

Name or IP address of host.

file

Name of file to be downloaded.

mod_num

(Optional) Number of the module to receive downloaded image.

serial

Keyword to specify download through a serial port.

Default

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

Command Type

Switch command.

Command Mode

Privileged.

Usage Guidelines

The Catalyst 6000 and 6500 series 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 and 6500 series 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 the module number is specified, 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 the module number is not specified, 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.

Examples

This example shows how to download the c6000_spv11.bin file from the mercury host to the supervisor engine module (by default):

Console> (enable) download mercury c6000_spv11.bin
Download image c6000_spv11.bin from mercury to module 1FLASH (y/n) [n]? y

This example shows how to download the acpflash_1111.bbi file from the mercury host to module 3:

Console> (enable) download mercury acpflash_1111.bbi 3
This command will reset Module 3.
Download image acpflash_1111.bbi from mercury to Module 3 FLASH (y/n) [n]? y
