Update Catalyst 1300 via CLI

[ewald.jeitler]

I am trying to update a Cisco Catalyt 1300 switch - via Web GUI this works perfectly. Unfortunately I have customers where I only have a Linux Jumphost and no access to the Web GUI because it is disabled. So port forwarding via SSH is also not an option to access the GUI.

Now I have the task of updating the switches.
I have access via SSH
I have the following servers to choose from on which the software can be deployed ( SCP / FTP / HTTP / HTTPS / FTPS / TFTP )

Unfortunately I have not found a way to update the software purely via the CLI.
Thanks in advance for any hints to help me find the solution.

 This switch will not give you the possibility to upgrade via CLI.

There is only a sub set of commands available.

Are you not able to stablish HTTP session using the linux server as jump and create a Tunnel on Putty?

switchxxxxxx# boot system "Path to Image"

switchxxxxxx#sh version
