Cat 9300

Hi

I accidentally changed the boot to point to the wrong file on catalyst 9300 and its not accesible, is it easy enough to recover and get it booting to the image again please.?

also i recently tftp'd an image to a 9300 17.3.4 and installed and booted and it is all ok but I only see the bin file I added and no other bin file for 16.12.4  any idea why infact I couldnt see a bin file in flash before I upgraded .??

Thanks

Not sure do you have 2 problem ? first one you mentioned device not accessble, next one you described upgrade ?

- what you mean accidentally booted, using USB ?  are you getting ROMMON

Is this device booted, can you post dir output

Hi

Yes so I changed the boot to the wrong file and now not accesible no ping no ssh, is it easy to recover I can get physical access to switch.?

Thanks

reload the device, go to ROMMON and boot with right image, and change the boot variable ? hope this works?

The switch may have gone into ROMMON and physical access is required.  

Make sure to test the console cable and a working thumb drive with the IOS-XE file before heading out to the site.
