Upgrading Software

Saved the Configuration on a TFTP Server

If you booted the PRE3 image, and you saved the previous configuration to a TFTP server:

a.

Enter the initial configuration dialog, and enter all required information to allow access to the TFTP
server.

b.

Assign the correct IP address for the Fast Ethernet interface to become active and for the TFTP
server to become reachable. This may require adding an IP route for the server even after the initial
dialog completes.

c.

Restore the previous configuration from the TFTP server to the startup and running configuration
on the router.

d.

Restore the startup and running configuration and update any boot commands to use the new PRE3
image.

The router is available for normal operations and the upgrade is complete.

Did Not Save the Configuration

If you did not save the PRE2 image to a TFTP server and you booted the PRE3 image:

a.

Enter the initial configuration dialog, and enter all required information. Be sure to assign the
correct IP address for the Fast Ethernet interface to become active and for the TFTP server to become
reachable.

b.

The TFTP server should be reachable. If you wish to boot the PRE3 image from a local
CompactFlash card, download the PRE3 IOS image from the TFTP server to the bootflash memory.
If you wish to boot directly from the TFTP server, you can skip the image download.

c.

Restore the previously saved configuration by downloading it from the TFTP server. Update any
boot commands from the previous configuration to point to the new PRE3 image. Otherwise, update
the boot command to point to the desired PRE3 image.

d.

Reload the router. After reload, the router is available to resume normal operations and the upgrade
is complete.

Upgrading Software on a Single PRE3

To upgrade software for a single PRE3, follow these steps:

Step 1

Copy the Cisco IOS image from a TFTP server to Disk0.

Router# copy tftp disk0:

Address or name of remote host []? 223.255.254.254

Source filename []? pre3/images/c10k3-p11-mz

Destination filename [c10k3-p11-mz]?

Accessing tftp://223.255.254.254/pre3/images/c10k3-p11-mz...

Router#

Step 2

Tell the Cisco 10008 router the location in which the new boot image resides. In the following example,
the system is told that the image “c10k3-p11-mz” is located in Disk0.

Router(config)# boot system flash disk0:c10k3-p11-mz
