Catalyst C1000-48P-4X-L

[carlos8agomez]

I have been updating C1000-48P-4X-L from console via tftp with the bin file. It has been updated but via web I can't see it correctly. How can I correct it?

You probably performed the upgrade from a .bin file. It is necessary to perform the upgrade from a .tar file that contains the necessary files for the GUI to work. You must then use the archive download-sw tftp://<TFTP_IP_ADDRESS>/filename.tar command.
You can press the '?' after the archive download-sw command, as there are commands such as overwrite, reload etc. This way is better as the checksum is checked straight away and if you have a stack then the image will be uploaded to all members of the stack.

Thank you very much. I understand that this is similar to the copy. After that how do I install the tar?

It actually takes much longer to upload the file, in my case it took about an hour to upload the image via Site-to-Site VPN and upload and extract it to 4 units in a stack (if you do it via TFTP the image may upload ("double’ - you will see as if the upload goes from 0% the second time, this is ok).
I personally always do it like this:
archive download-sw /leave-old-sw /reload tftp://tftp_server/image.tar - actually you can use it and if the software starts to load then you can forget about it and get on with something else
If you are convinced that you do not want to leave the old image instead of /leave-old-sw use /overwrite etc.

That's because the HTML files are incompatible with the IOS being run.  This is a very common observation after "upgrading the IOS" by ways of copy-the-BIN-file method.
