update WS-C2950G-48-EI

[tgusset]

Hello

I'd like to update IOS of a  WS-C2950G-48-EI.

Now it runs 12.1(22)EA4a. Doku says to use

archive download-sw

But my switch doesn't know this command.

sw78#archive ?
  tar  List or extract files in a tar image

Any ideas?

thanks in advance

If the ios is packeged in a tar file use:

archive tar /xtract tftp://x.x.x.x/iosname.tar flash:

If ios is not packed in tar (ie .bin) use

copy tftp flash:

archive tar /xtract tftp://x.x.x.x/iosname.tar flash:

works fine

you also have to set the new image to boot

conf term
boot system flash:.bin
