I am following the process documented in url below method#3 for a .bin image in order to copy a new version of image from master to switch3 to flash3:, which works just fine, but when I issue a boot system switch 3 flash3: and tell switch3 to boot from just copied image from master and issue the reload slot 3 command switch3 still boots from 'old' image and show switch show version mismatch. Has anyone had this work successfully? and how? I am doing this in a test bed of 4 2960x switches stacked together all running .bin image files. Master and switch2 have correct newer image and switch3 and switch4 have the same train but different rev..15.0 vs 15.2.

Hi Leo
Thanks for the reply. I wonder why Cisco publishes the copy .bin process? Does the copy work best only with tar files?

The TAR file contains the BIN file and other associate files.

I always use the TAR files. There are only extreme cases where I use the BIN files, like forcing the switch to boot from ROMmon.
