Upgrading Cisco 9300 IOS

TW80CJ5
Level 3
Level 3

Good Morning Everyone...

 

We received some new switches and they currently have IOS XE Gribraltar 16.6.x. Before we deploy them into production we would like to put the most current IOS available. Can we upgrade from Gibraltar to IOS XE Amsterdam 17.2.x or are we confined to the Gibraltar Series IOS?

 

Any supporting documentation available...???

 

Thanks!

Hi there,

Take a look at the 17.2 release notes:

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/lan/catalyst9300/software/release/17-2/release_notes/ol-17-2-9300.html#task_xpb_3tx_xkb

 

It talks about upgrading from versions >16.6.2 :

Cisco IOS XE Everest 16.6.2 and all later releases

Either install commands or request platform software commands

 

Keep in mind that 17.2 is a very new release train, the recommended version is 16.12.3a:

You can upgrade direct to 17.2.X.

That was the collective opinion in the shop, however, we just want to be as cautious as possible. Is there any available supporting documentation because I wasnt finding any.

 

Thanks for the prompt reply!
