Switch 3560 IOS upgrade

[egeorgopoulos]

I tried to upgrade the IOS to the switch (WS-C3560G-48TS) from  "c3560-advipservicesk9-mz.122-46.SE.bin" to  "c3560-ipbasek9-mz.150-1.SE.bin", but the verification failed. Even  though the IOS file seems to be transferred successfully and it can be  seen on the directory, the tftp software (SolarWinds) says at the log  file "..., binary, GET. Dropped because peer didn't respond". And  eventually it says that the binary was completed.

The message I got from the switch is:

SWITCH# verify flash:c3560-ipbasek9-mz.150-1.SE.bin
File system hash verification failed for file flash:c3560-ipbasek9-mz.150-1.SE.bin(No such file or directory).

Is there any issue with this switch?

Thank you.

To verify the image, do a "sh ver" and put the actual name in the path

see example below:

Example:

verify /md5 flash:c3750e-universal-mz.122-52.SE/c3750e-universal-mz.122-52.SE.bin

Also, have a look here:

Do I have to put the name of the IOS twice, ie

verify /md5 flash:c3750e-universal-mz.122-52.SE/c3750e-universal-mz.122-52.SE.bin

why? Also the md5 checksum will be created?

Hi,

Can you please do "dir flash:", 3560 uses concept of tar-like files where it has image as a set of files and when you unpack it it creates a folder and IOS file is actually sitting in that folder.

Thus first make sure you have that folder created or you have your.bin file in flash: root directory.

probably the folder is not created:

dir flash:

The command does not work without the MD5 in it or I could not get it to work.  Yes, copy and pate the entire path from sh ver.  This was the only way I got it to work.

[egeorgopoulos]

Do I have to download the MD5 checksum from cisco web site when I downloaded the IOS software ?

[Reza Sharifi]

no, you don't.  Just try the command I provided you

[nkarpysh]

You can do md5 verify as Reza advised. Then you can compare hash value you will get with the one on Cisco web site (IOS donload page for your image) to see if that is matching.
