Verifying That Automatic Software Download Is Working Correctly
Purpose
Verify that the automatic software download feature is working correctly.
Action
Use the show system services dhcp client interface-name command to verify that the automatic software download feature has been used to install a software package.
user@switch> show system services dhcp client ge-0/0/1.0 Logical Interface Name ge-0/0/1.0 Hardware address 00:0a:12:00:12:12 Client Status bound Vendor Identifier ether Server Address 10.1.1.1 Address obtained 10.1.1.89 Lease Obtained at 2009-08-20 18:13:04 PST Lease Expires at 2009-08-22 18:13:04 PST DHCP Options : Name: name-server, Value: [ 10.209.194.131, 2.2.2.2, 3.3.3.3 ] Name: server-identifier, Value: 10.1.1.1 Name: router, Value: [ 10.1.1.80 ] Name: boot-image, Value: jinstall-ex-4200-9.6R1.5-domestic-signed.tgz Name: boot-image-location, Value: 10.1.1.25:/bootfiles/
Meaning
The output from this command shows the name and location of the software package under DHCP options when automatic software download was last used to install a software package. The sample output in DHCP options shows that the last DHCP server message to arrive on the DHCP client had a boot server address of 192.168.1.165 and a boot file named jinstall-ex-4200-9.6R1.5-domestic-signed.tgz. If automatic software download was enabled on this client switch during the last DHCP message exchange, these values were used by the switch to upgrade the software.
