How to upgrade Cisco IOS-Image over USBflash with a TAR-File.<\/p>\n

Download the TAR-File from the Cisco Software Download Portal (https:\/\/software.cisco.com\/download\/) and copy the new IOS-Image in the USB Flash Drive.  The TAR File contains the .bin IOS Image and an additional set of html & other files. In our case we took the IOS-Version as a TAR-File because the Client needs the Web-Management via web browser.<\/p>\n

1. Copy the new IOS-Image from usbdrive in to the flash memory<\/p>\n

Switch#archive tar \/xtract usbflash0:\/c2960s-universalk9-tar.150-2.SE6.tar flash:<\/p>\n

2. Now its start extracting the TAR-file into the Switch flash memory<\/p>\n

2. Check if everything is copied into Flash Memory. Erase the old IOS and the vlan.dat if its present from the Switch flash memory<\/p>\n

Switch#delete \/recursive \/force flash:\/c2960s-universalk9-mz.122-55.SE7
\nSwitch#delete flash:\/vlan.dat<\/p>\n

Delete flash:\/vlan.dat? [confirm]<\/p>\n

Switch#<\/p>\n

3. Erase the running and startup config<\/p>\n

Switch#write erase
\nErasing the nvram filesystem will remove all configuration files! Continue? [confirm]
\n[OK]
\nErase o….
\nnvram: complete
\nSwitch#<\/p>\n

4. Set the new default IOS to boot system<\/p>\n

I know that boot system take the ios were are avaliable to boot the system.
\nbut to be sure that the correct ios version is booting set this command.<\/p>\n

Switch#show boot
\nBOOT path-list : flash:\/c2960s-universalk9-mz.122-55.SE7\/c2960s-universalk9-mz.122-55.SE7.bin
\nConfig file : flash:\/config.text
\nPrivate Config file : flash:\/private-config.text
\nEnable Break : no
\nManual Boot : no
\nHELPER path-list :
\nAuto upgrade : yes
\nAuto upgrade path :
\nNVRAM\/Config file
\nbuffer size: 524288
\nTimeout for Config

\nConfig Download
\nvia DHCP: disabled (next boot: disabled)<\/p>\n

Switch(config)#boot system flash:\/c2960s-universalk9-mz.150-2.SE6\/c2960s-universalk9-mz.150-2.SE6.bin<\/p>\n

5. Dobble Check<\/p>\n

Switch#show boot:
\nBOOT path-list : flash:\/c2960s-universalk9-mz.150-2.SE6\/c2960s-universalk9-mz.150-2.SE6.bin
\nConfig file : flash:\/config.text
\nPrivate Config file : flash:\/private-config.text
\nEnable Break : no
\nManual Boot : no
\nHELPER path-list :
\nAuto upgrade : yes
\nAuto upgrade path :
\nNVRAM\/Config file
\nbuffer size: 524288
\nTimeout for Config
\nDownload: 0 seconds
\nConfig Download
\nvia DHCP: disabled (next boot: disabled)
\nSwitch#<\/p>\n

6. Put the new config and save<\/p>\n

Switch(config)#end
\nSwitch#write
\nBuilding configuration…
\n[OK]
\nSwitch#<\/p>\n

or…<\/p>\n

Switch(config)#end
\nSwitch#copy running-config startup-config
\nDestination filename [startup-config]?
\nBuilding configuration…
\n[OK]
\nSwitch#<\/p>\n

7. Reboot Switch for finisch the IOS-Image installation
\nSwitch#reload<\/p>\n

8. After reboot check if the new IOS-Image is installed.<\/p>\n
