Hi,
I need to upgrade the IOS on 2900 switches but when I tried this on one switch, there wasnt space in flash I think so this failed. This procedure seems to be different to the routers. I dont quite understand where the IOS is stored and what I need to do to upgrade here. Can someone point me in the right direction.
Below is what I did with the results and "sh ver". On the routers, the IOS is usually uploaded from flash into dram at bootup and then executed. How do the switches work?. Thanks..
