Upgrading the Switch Software

Deciding Which Files to Use

The upgrade procedures in these release notes describe how to perform the upgrade by using a combined

tar file. This file contains the Cisco IOS image file and the files needed for the embedded device

manager. You must use the combined tar file to upgrade the switch through the device manager. To

upgrade the switch through the command-line interface (CLI), use the tar file and the archive

download-sw privileged EXEC command.

Table 3 lists the filenames for this software release.

Note To use the IPv6 routing and IPv6 ACL features on the Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3120 for HP, you

must purchase the IP services software license from Cisco.

The universal software images support multiple feature sets. Use the software activation feature to

deploy a software license and to enable a specific feature set. For information about software activation,

see the Cisco Software Activation for HP document on Cisco.com:

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 from 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 for more

information:

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.
