Chapter 33 Working with System Software Images Upgrading the ROM Monitor Preparing to Upload an Image to an rcp Server Before you attempt to upload a software image to an rcp server, do the following: • Ensure that the workstation acting as the rcp server is configured properly. • Ensure that the switch has a route to the rcp server. The switch and the rcp server must be in the same subnetwork if you do not have a router to route traffic between subnets. Check connectivity to the rcp server using the ping command. • If you are overwriting an existing file (including an empty file, if you had to create one), ensure that the permissions on the file are set correctly. Make sure that the permissions on the file are set to write for the specific username. Uploading Software Images to an rcp Server To upload a software image on a switch to an rcp server for storage, follow these steps: Step 1 Step 2 Log in to the switch through the console port or a Telnet session. Upload the software image to the rcp server using the copy flash rcp command. When prompted, specify the rcp server address and the destination filename. On platforms that support the Flash file systems, you are first prompted for the Flash device and source filename. If desired, you can use the copy file-id rcp command on these platforms. The software image is uploaded to the rcp server. This example shows how to upload the supervisor engine software image to an rcp server: Console> (enable) copy flash rcp Flash device [bootflash]? bootflash: Name of file to copy from []? cat4000.6-1-1.bin IP address or name of remote host [172.20.52.3]? 172.20.52.10 Name of file to copy to [cat4000.6-1-1.bin]?

Console> (enable) Upgrading the ROM Monitor If the ROM Monitor (ROMMON) loaded onto your switch is version 4.5(1) or earlier, you need to upgrade the ROMMON to version 6.1(4) in order to run software release 7.1 or later releases. Caution To avoid actions that might render your system unbootable, read this entire section before starting the upgrade. You can do this procedure entirely over a Telnet connection, but if something fails, you will need to have access to the console serial port. If done improperly, the system can be rendered unbootable. It will then have to be returned to Cisco for repair. 78-15486-01 Catalyst 4500 Series, Catalyst 2948G, Catalyst 2980G Switches Software Configuration Guide-Release 8.1 33-9
