2960s IOS Upgrade Issue

Mario Musquiz

Level 1

Hi 

I have a issue when i try to upgrade the IOS of WS-C2960S-48TS-L, the curretn version is 12.2(58)SE2 , the verison im trying to upgrate to is 15.2.SE6.

I do the "archive tar /xtract tftp" command to extract all the files to the flash, then i do the "boot system flash:"  command to change to the new but when i reboot the switch it loads the new ios then loads the old ios and boot using the old ios, how can i change to ignore the old ios ?

Here i am again...and with new weird news.

I've made new tests and analisys on my six WS-2960S-48LPS-L.

Cables are ok (said by TDR).

Five on six no way to upgrade, from CLI, upper 15.0.1-SE. This is the newest working IOS i found, tested:

c2960s-universalk9-mz.150-2.EX

c2960s-universalk9-mz.150-2.SE6

c2960s-universalk9-mz.150-2.SE6  <-- suggested by Cisco

c2960s-universalk9-mz.150-2.SE7

c2960s-universalk9-mz.152-2a.E1

no way to boot, always the same error i've already posted.

Tried to format the rom also, always same things.

Anyway with 15.0.1-SE that should have fixed the poe problems, poe doesnt work...So i guess it's a hardware problem. Well ...5/6... i must say i have really bad luck...

But now, give me your attention please.....

One of them works, every port do its job with my voip cisco 7912 phones, with an old IOS also (12.2.58-SE2). So, i checked if it is a 2960S-48LPS-L for sure, serial number on case is the same i have on the package. It says it's a LPS-L. So, from CLI, i tried a show version....look at this:

now i'm really confused...

I called Cisco, gave them the serial number and they confirmed must be a LPS-L.

Ideas?
