6. Installing Cisco Configuration Professional on existing switches
This section describes how to use Cisco Configuration Professional on supported switches in existing deployments. This is for switches that were not factory-shipped with Cisco Configuration Professional or cannot be upgraded to the Cisco IOS Software version that is bundled with Cisco Configuration Professional.
Note: Cisco Configuration Professional for Catalyst is independent of the switch Cisco IOS Software.
There are two options for installing Cisco Configuration Professional:
1. Download only Cisco Configuration Professional and use the existing Cisco IOS Software (download only the CCP-C.tar).
2. Download a Cisco IOS bundle file that contains Cisco Configuration Professional and a newer version of Cisco IOS.
6.1 Steps to install CCP-C.tar
1. Browse to https://www.cisco.com/go/ccp-catalyst and download the CCP.tar image for the switch.
2. Download the CCP-CATALYST file to the switch flash.
3. Create a directory on the flash:
mkdir flash:CCP-CATALYST
4. Expand the .tar file in the flash:
archive tar /xtract flash:/c2960l-cwml.tar flash:/CCP-CATALYST
5. Configure the switch parameters.
6. Point the switch to the CCP-CATALYST files:
ip http path flash:CCP-CATALYST
7. Specify authentication parameters:
a. ip http authentication enable
b. ip http authentication aaa/local
8. Enable the switch to act as the HTTP server:
a. ip http server
Access Cisco Configuration Professional from the web browser by using the IP address configured on the switch.
The username and password will be as configured on the switch locally or using AAA.
6.2 Steps to install Cisco IOS Software (.tar image)
The procedure is the same as the Cisco IOS upgrade procedure on a switch with a .tar image.
