Install OS on new switch.

[Simon Thomas]

Our Educational District just purchased 8 (Refurbished) Cisco Cat 3560 POE switches to upgrade from the dated 2950 switches.

We downloaded the newest OS from our Cisco Account, but now I am lost.  Maybe it's me :)

I start up the switch and connect via the nic-comm port.  The default "switch" name comes up, and I can see the old version "sh ver" etc..  I looked through the manuals supplied and can not see the process to upgrade the OS on the switch via the nic-comm port.  And Google displays a massive time consuming array of how to.

I did read that we could upgrade via out TFTP, where the new .tar is located, but the switch does not recognize the TFTP server.

Any help or links would be very helpful.

Thank you.

download latest TFTP.

Connect switch and router with straight cable.

use following commands:

copy tftp://TFTP_IP/IMAGE_NAME flash:

boot system flash:IMAGE_NAME

reload
