Hi Everyone,

I need to upgrade IOS on 2960G switch using FTP.

Need to confirm archieve command only works with tar image not bin image?

Hi Mahesh,

Correct. All the archive commands I have seen used have been with .tar files.

here are some examples:

This example shows how to download a new image from a TFTP server at 172.20.129.10 and to overwrite the image on the switch:

Switch# archive download-sw /overwrite tftp://172.20.129.10/test-image.tar 

This example shows how to download only the software image from a TFTP server at 172.20.129.10 to the switch:

Switch# archive download-sw /imageonly tftp://172.20.129.10/test-image.tar 

This example shows how to keep the old software version after a successful download:

Switch# archive download-sw /leave-old-sw tftp://172.20.129.10/test-image.tar
