Catalyst 3560G, problem of no correct Web Control UI

[M_YANG]

Hello, 

Excuse me, experts.

I am a French student, and I bought a second-hand Catalyst 3560G as a study material. (Although I am not majoring in network, I am studying AVoIP and very interested in switches)

I deleted the config.text and VLAN configuration through the console port, and reset the password through the mode key. But I found that I cannot enter the complete Web console. 

As shown above, when I clicked on the Web Console interface, I got a 404 page.

So I want to know:

1. Is my problem because the IOS in the switch is not a complete package.

(Ref:https://community.cisco.com/t5/switching/web-console-of-a-switch-3560/td-p/3024853)

2. Since the switch is no longer supported, where can I find the download of the complete package? The following is the information of the switch

cisco WS-C3560G-48PS (PowerPC405) processor (revision F0) with 131072K bytes of memory. Processor board ID FOC1233Z192 Last reset from power-on 1 Virtual Ethernet interface 52 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces The password-recovery mechanism is enabled.

Model number : WS-C3560G-48PS-E

Switch Ports Model SW Version SW Image

------ ----- ----- ---------- ----------

* 1 52 WS-C3560G-48PS 12.2(55)SE8 C3560-IPSERVICESK9-M

Thanks again !

from the console - type  #dir and post the output here :

if the .bin boot, then you won't get full-blown GUI

if install tar image you have access to GUI.

so make sure you install the correct image to get GUI access.

example :

Hello Balaji.bandi,

Thanks for your kindly reply.

As your mentioned, I got the output of #dir and get the .bin

So I believed the key-point for me is getting the correct image to get GUI access

Get tar image to get full GUI access,

example :

c3560-ipbasek9-tar.122-55.SE12.tar

[M_YANG]

Thank you so much.

I could find the .tar on Cisco -> support, but it marks as for 3560V2, my switch is 3560G, so I don't know if that will works good for my switch.

So due to my .bin file is "c3560-ipservicesk9-mz.122-55.SE8.bin"

I need to find "c3560-ipservicesk9-tar.122-55.SE8.tar" as the Image, right ?

I find it here https://software.cisco.com/download/home/282526415/type/280805680/release/12.2.55-SE8, and it also marks as for 3560V2. (maybe it is too stupid question, But as a beginner, I would wonder whether this model that is not an exact match is suitable for my switch.）

Thanks again!

3560 was EOL Long back, If you are not keen of GUI, most commands work in command level as same as Web GUI. only required command syntax. if the switch use for Just layer 2 and simple config, i would use CLI to finish the config and save.

Still you like to have GUI, you can work the one you mentioned: c3560-ipservicesk9-tar.122-55.SE8.tar

Also worth taking backup of the .bin file in case required to roll back to the .bin File.

how to install tar file example :

Thank you so much !  I prefer to digging more in Layer 2 and 3, so GUI will be easier for me.

I'll bkp and upgrade the tar. image.

3560/3560G firmware is compatible with 3560v2 switch. 

Get the latest 12.2(55)SE train and download the TAR file.

There is no need to backup the BIN file because it is an old file. 

If you want to "backup" the IOS, then store the TAR file in a secure or offline location.

Hello,

can you access the configuration through the command line ? If so, post the running configuration (sh run).

Check if there are lines in there such as:

ip http server

ip http secure-server

yes of course.

I am sure you have that config, without that you will not get the HTTP page you posted in the first instance in the Orginal post.

you sure missing the image TAR file, get that one you should be ok to get all you need.
