Hello,
I want to install IOS on a Cat6509 currently running CatOS. Following are the module and current image details on it. I do not want to retain the config so no need to convert that. I just need to install CatOS. Please advise on what is the procedure as so far the procedures I have come across are to convert it from Hybrid to Native and then from Native to IOS. I am thinking if this should be a straight forward process to just download the IOS image and change the bootvar to use that.
Regards,
Abid Ghufran.
