Catalyst HTML management update procedure

[coenrad]

Hello

I want to update the html management file on our catalyst 2950 and 3000 series switch's for consistancy and also because the new version has a usefull dashboard feature.

I can get to the flash directory and I can rename the existing folder to html.old, my problem now is, how do I copy the new html folder to this directory from the command line interface of the switch, tftp will mean having to specify each individual file in the folder, this is not practical, thus I need get the new folder off my PC and into the flash.....how?

Follow the instructions here for upgrading the 2950.

Now if your not interested in upgrading the IOS, but only want to upgrade the HTML, I'd copy the existing flash:.bin file to the TFTP server first. Then follow the instructions above. Afterward, simply delete the new c2950..bin you installed and copy the old c2950..bin from your tftp server.

If you have enough flash, then you can simply do as you've done; rename the /html/ directory and use the procedures above to install the version.

I'm not sure what a "3000 series switch" is, but use this link to find your switch, from there you should be able to drill down the specific instructions for your remaining switch(es).

first thing is to delete the old html folder.

delete /r/f flash:html

second, tar the html folder.(I use 7-zip when working with windows)

third, use the archive command to extract the tar file into the flash file system.

archive tar /xtract tftp://x.x.x.x/html.tar flash:
