Copy 3850 IOS to 4507 SD Card

[norogaf]

Can you copy Catalyst 3850 IOS to an SD card in a 4507R+E Sup 8?  I need to upgrade a 3850 that is not on the network and since 3850's dont have SD cards I want to know if I can copy the 3850 IOS to a 4507 that is on the network.  With out tight security I cannot ftp from a server to my laptop so need to get the IOS on an SD card which I can put in my laptop and then FTP to the 3850.

Hi

Why not copy the ios to usb stick and stick in the back of the 3850 and set the bootvar from there and reload , copy usb0:ios......  flash:

but either way yes you can do what you asked once theres space , flash cards are just storage basically

What's wrong with downloading the IOS from the Cisco website?
