To validate the software image on the flash drive after the image is transferred to the system, but before you install the image, use theverify {md5 | sha256} [ flash://]img-file [hash-value] command in EXEC mode.• md5: MD5 message-digest algorithm• sha256: SHA256 Secure Hash Algorithm• flash: (Optional) Specifies the flash drive. The default uses the flash drive. You can enter the image file name.• hash-value: (Optional).

To transfer files to an externalserver, use the copy source-file-url http://host[:port]/file-path command.Enter the following source-file-url keywords and information:• To copy a file from the internal FLASH, enter flash:// followed by the filename.• To copy the running configuration, enter the keyword running-config.• To copy the startup configuration, enter the keyword startup-config.• To copy a file on the USB device, enter usbflash:// followed by the filename.In the Dell Networking OS release 9.8(0.0), HTTP services support the VRF-aware functionality. If you want the HTTP server to use a VRFtable that is attached to an interface, configure that HTTP server to use a specific routing table. You can use the ip http vrf commandto inform the HTTP server to use a specific routing table. After you configure this setting, the VRF table is used to look up the destinationaddress.NOTE: To enable HTTP to be VRF-aware, as a prerequisite you must first define theVRF.You can specify either the management VRF or a nondefault VRF to configure the VRF awareness setting.When you specify the management VRF, the copy operation that is used to transfer files to and from an HTTP server utilizes the VRF tablecorresponding to the Management VRF to look up the destination. When you specify a nondefault VRF, the VRF table corresponding tothat nondefault VRF is used to look up the HTTP server.60 Getting Started
