Need assistance to upgrade cisco 2960XR stacked switch

[vikram4]

I plan to upgrade image in Cisco 2960XR stacked switch & i have already copied the image to switch using .tar method (using the command archive download-sw .....). There are 2 member switches inn the stack & switch 1 is master. However for switch 1/master switch, auto-upgrade is shown as 'yes' whereas for switch 2, auto-upgrade is 'no'. What does this line mean & will it have an impact on successful image upgrade?

Its the same for me. This information about slave switch it is not a problem, you will have a sucessfully upgrade.
Just Master is reponsible for it and will replay for slaves mambers.

Note: For switch stacks, the archive download-sw and archive upload-sw privileged EXEC commands can only be used through the stack master. Software images downloaded to the stack master are automatically downloaded to the rest of the stack members. Thus, you must be logged on to the master switch to perform this upgrade.

Hi @vikram4,

Just make sure you use the "boot system switch all". This is critical. It changes the boot variable on all switches (see show boot). Without "switch all" only the master boot variable is changed if you reload then, only the master will run the new version and all the other will have a "version mismatch" status in the stack.

1. Copy the .BIN file to the "flash" directory of EACH switch in the stack.

- copy ftp: flash1:

- copy ftp: flash2:

- copy ftp: flash3:

- copy ftp: flash4:

2. This command on the master

- boot system switch all flash:/bin-file-name.bin

3. reload

I leave the link of the entire discussion also:

I hope this can help you.
