Cisco 4948 Upgrade

[delano1981]

Good Day All,

I have a cisco 4948 Switch that is currently running cat4500-ipbase-mz.122-31.SGA4.bin and I want to install IOS version cat4500-entservicesk9-mz.150-2.SG2.bin. This brings me to my questions.

Can I just load this new IOS on this switch, or do I need to do an upgrade to another IOS before placing this image on?

Do I need any additional licences to upgrade to this IOS?

Is there anything else that I should consider before the upgrade?

Thanks in advance for your response.

Hi,

Can I just load this new IOS on this switch, or do I need to do an upgrade to another IOS before placing this image on?

You can go directly from your current IOS to the new version

Do I need any additional licences to upgrade to this IOS?

Yes, your current license level is IP Base and the new image is Enterprise.  So you need a new license.  Talk to your sales rep.

Is there anything else that I should consider before the upgrade?

Yes, make sure your flash has enough space for both images.
