Howdy. I'm a beginner and I have purchased a used Cisco WS-C3560E-48PD , a discontinued model. I am attempting to flash it and have tried several different images from Cisco's Download page, all resulting in `ERROR: Image Family Mismatch`
When I run `sh version` it results in this:
Cisco IOS Software, C3560E Software (C3560E-IPBASEK9-M), Version 12.2(52)SE, REL EASE SOFTWARE (fc3)

System returned to ROM by power-on
System image file is "flash:/c3560e-ipbasek9-mz.122-52.SE.bin"
I managed to download c3560-ipbasek9-tar.122-55.SE3.tar from here, which I think is the correct image however I still get that error.
I've also tried:
- c3560-ipbasek9-tar.122-55.SE12.tar
- c3560e-ipbasek9-tar.122-55.SE13.tar
- c3560e-ipbasek9-tar.122-55.SE10.tar
- c3560e-ipbasek9-tar.122-55.SE8.tar
- c3560e-ipbasek9-tar.122-55.SE7.tar
My method of doing this is with `archive download-sw /overwrite tftp://10.0.2.7/c3560-ipbasek9-tar.122-55.SE3.tar`
switch1#$overwrite tftp://10.0.2.7/c3560-ipbasek9-tar.122-55.SE3.tar
