Dear all,
For my homelab, I've been given a Cisco nexus 3064 switch. Unfortunately this thing is stuck on its loader> so I've looked up the nexus ns-os troubleshooting documentation:
https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/datacenter/nexus9000/sw/6-x/troubleshooting/guide/b_Cisco_Nexus_9000_Series_NX-OS_Troubleshooting_Guide/b_Cisco_Standalone_Series_NX-OS_Troubleshooting_Guide_chapter_01.html
The instructions tell me to boot with image version 6.1.2.I1.1. But this thing hasnt been upgraded since it came from the factory so I read up on the 6.x upgrade guide:
https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/datacenter/nexus3000/sw/upgrade/6_x/Cisco_n3k_Upgrade_Downgrade_6x.html
"Cisco Nexus 3000 Series switches that use software versions older than Cisco NX-OS Release 5.0(3)U5(1) need to be updated to Cisco NX-OS Release 5.0(3)U5(1) before they are upgraded to Cisco NX-OS Release 6.0(2)."
My other problem is that I'm just a simple student trying to learn how to operate cisco switches, I don;t have a support contract or anything. A certain 'free' site didnt have the software version and google could not help me either.
I contacted cisco technical support by phone, and they advised me to create a post on these forums for assistance, I was told maybe a 3rd party could provide me with the desired system and kickstart software. 5.0.3.U5.1
Many thanks to anyone who can help me!
