Chapter 33 Working with System Software Images Upgrading the ROM Monitor Step 6 Step 7 If the last line in the output of the show boot command is the following: "boot:image specified by the boot system commands," go to Step 7. This example shows the autoboot configuration: Console> (enable) show boot BOOT variable = bootflash:cat4000.5-5-8.bin,1; CONFIG_FILE variable = bootflash:switch.cfg Configuration register is 0x102 ignore-config:disabled auto-config:non-recurring console baud:9600 boot:image specified by the boot system commands Console > (enable) If the last line in the output of the show boot command does not say "boot:image specified by the boot system commands," use the set boot config-register command to set the boot configuration. This example shows how to set the boot configuration: Console> (enable) set boot config-register boot system Configuration register is 0x102 ignore-config:disabled auto-config:non-recurring console baud:9600 boot:image specified by the boot system commands Console> (enable) Use the set boot system flash command to prepend the promupgrade image to the boot string. Note Make sure that you use the prepend keyword with the set boot system flash command. The switch always boots the first image in the boot string, and you want the promupgrade image to boot first. Step 8 This example shows how to prepend the promupgrade image to the boot string: Console> (enable) set boot system flash bootflash:cat4000-promupgrade.6-1-4.bin prepend BOOT variable = bootflash:cat4000-promupgrade.6-1-4.bin,1;bootflash:cat4000.5-5-8.bin,1; Reset the switch to boot the promupgrade program. Caution No intervention is necessary to complete the upgrade. Do not interrupt the boot process by performing a reset, power cycle, OIR of the supervisor engine,and so on, for at least 5 minutes. If the process is not allowed to complete, you might damage the switch and have to return it to Cisco for repair. Upgrading the ROMMON may require up to 5 minutes because the switch boots the promupgrade image. This special program erases the current ROMMON from Flash and installs the new one. After you install the new ROMMON, the system resets again and boots the next image in the BOOT string. If the BOOT string was configured as described in Step 7 on page 33-11, the next image is the software image that the switch was originally configured to boot. Note A Telnet session is disconnected when you reset the switch; you will lose connectivity to the switch. 78-15486-01 Catalyst 4500 Series, Catalyst 2948G, Catalyst 2980G Switches Software Configuration Guide-Release 8.1 33-11

Chapter 33
Working with System Software Images
Upgrading the ROM Monitor
If the last line in the output of the
show boot
command is the following:
“boot:image specified by the boot system commands
,
go to Step 7.
This example shows the autoboot configuration:
Console> (enable)
show boot
BOOT variable = bootflash:cat4000.5-5-8.bin,1;
CONFIG_FILE variable = bootflash:switch.cfg
Configuration register is 0x102
ignore-config:disabled
auto-config:non-recurring
console baud:9600
boot:image specified by the boot system commands
Console > (enable)
Step 6
If the last line in the output of the
show boot
command does not say
“boot:image specified by the boot system commands
,
use the
set boot config-register
command to set the boot configuration.
This example shows how to set the boot configuration:
Console> (enable)
set boot config-register boot system
Configuration register is 0x102
ignore-config:disabled
auto-config:non-recurring
console baud:9600
boot:image specified by the boot system commands
Console> (enable)
Step 7
Use the
set boot system flash
command to prepend the
promupgrade
image to the boot string.
Note
Make sure that you use the
prepend
keyword with the
set boot system flash
command. The
switch always boots the first image in the boot string, and you want the
promupgrade
image to
boot first.
This example shows how to prepend the
promupgrade
image to the boot string:
Console> (enable)
set boot system flash bootflash:cat4000-promupgrade.6-1-4.bin prepend
BOOT variable = bootflash:cat4000-promupgrade.6-1-4.bin,1;bootflash:cat4000.5-5-8.bin,1;
Step 8
Reset the switch to boot the
promupgrade
program.
Caution
No intervention is necessary to complete the upgrade. Do not
interrupt the boot process by performing
a reset, power cycle, OIR of the supervisor engine,and so on, for at least 5 minutes. If the process is not
allowed to complete, you might damage the switch and have to return it to Cisco for repair.
Upgrading the ROMMON may require up to 5 minutes because the switch boots the
promupgrade
image. This special program erases the current ROMMON from Flash and installs the new one. After
you install the new ROMMON, the system resets again and boots the next image in the BOOT string. If
the BOOT string was configured as described in Step 7
on page 33-11
, the next image is the software
image that the switch was originally configured to boot.
Note
A Telnet session is disconnected when you reset the switch; you will lose connectivity to the
switch.
