Hello;
I accedently deleted the flash directory(nervous fingers, my fault), but the switch is still running.
i copied a new IOS, cat3k_caa-universalk9.SPA.03.06.06.E.152-2.E6.bin to the flash an saved the current config.
When i install the new IOS will the switch boot correctly?
Thanks for your help.

Hi Thomas,
Is the same IOS used previously, otherwise I recommend modify the following parameters:
no boot system flash:<old ios>
boot system flash:<new ios>
write memory
You could verify it using: show bootvar (not all devices support this line>
Also this link could be useful

Hope it is useful

Hi Julio;
Thanks, i followed your advice and get:
Switch#show boot
---------------------------
Switch 2
---------------------------
Current Boot Variables:
BOOT variable = flash:cat3k_caa-universalk9.SPA.03.06.06.E.152-2.E6.bin;flash:cat3k_caa-universalk9.SPA.03.06.06.E.152-2.E6.bin;;
Boot Variables on next reload:
BOOT variable = flash:cat3k_caa-universalk9.SPA.03.06.06.E.152-2.E6.bin;flash:cat3k_caa-universalk9.SPA.03.06.06.E.152-2.E6.bin;;
Allow Dev Key = yes
Manual Boot = no
Enable Break = no
the IOS at3k_caa-universalk9.SPA.03.06.06.E.152-2.E6.bin is the new version.
is this ok?

Hi
Just a question, is it a switch part of a stack or it is a standalone switch?

Standalone so far, but should be part of an stack in near future.
Greetings, Thomas
