Switch FW Update

[mikoto06]

Hello all. I'm trying to update the FW on to Switches I obtained from 12.2 to 15.0 since its the only one I can obtain without a contract. The switch says its an IP Base in the "Sh Ver" command however when I try to update the firmware I get an error saying "Error: system number 1 does not support the same feature set."

Is this because the current FW is a universal one rather then the IP Base that I am trying to load?

To bypass this check, add the /allow-feature-upgrade parameter to the archive download-sw command. According to the documentation, this feature is new as of 12.2
