Upgrading the Switch Software
Table 3
lists the filenames for this software release.
Archiving Software Images
Before upgrading your switch software, make sure that you have archived copies of the current Cisco
IOS release and the Cisco IOS release to which you are upgrading. You should keep these archived
images until you have upgraded all devices in the network to the new Cisco IOS image and until you
have verified that the new Cisco IOS image works properly in your network.
Cisco routinely removes old Cisco IOS versions from Cisco.com. See
Product Bulletin 2863

You can copy the bin software image file on the flash memory to the appropriate TFTP directory on a
host by using the
copy flash: tftp:
privileged EXEC command.
Note
Although you can copy any file on the flash memory to the TFTP server, it is time consuming to copy
all of the HTML files in the tar file. We recommend that you download the tar file from Cisco.com and
archive it on an internal host in your network.
You can also configure the switch as a TFTP server to copy files from one switch to another without
using an external TFTP server by using the
tftp-server
global configuration command. For more
information about the
tftp-server
command, see the “Basic File Transfer Services Commands” section
of the
Cisco IOS Configuration Fundamentals Command Reference, Release 12.2
