Cisco 9300 IOS upgrade

Cisco 9300 IOS upgrade (Cisco Catalyst 9300)

Motivation:

This manual shows how to upload IOS via FTP or USB disk and upgrade IOS for switch Cisco Catalyst (C9300) series.

Implementation [1]:

In this example we are going to use IOS called cat9k_iosxe.16.12.04.SPA.bin. IOS image can be downloaded from this pages: https://software.cisco.com/download/home

Remove Unwanted Packages from flash:

Cat9300#install remove inactive

Example of copy IOS file from FTP server (running under IP address 192.168.1.10) to C9300 switch:

Cat9300#copy ftp://yourlogin:yourpassword@192.168.1.10/cat9k_iosxe.16.12.04.SPA.bin flash:

or example of copy IOS file from USB disk to C9300 switch:

Cat9300#copy usbflash0:cat9k_iosxe.16.12.04.SPA.bin flash:

Progress and successful copy of IOS to C9300 switch flash memory:

Destination filename [cat9k_iosxe.16.12.04.SPA.bin]?

[OK - 805827585/4096 bytes]
805827585 bytes copied in 2295.733 secs (351011 bytes/sec)

SHA512 verification:

Cat9300#verify /sha512 cat3k_caa-universalk9.16.12.05b.SPA.bin

Partial output from SHA512 verification:

........................................................................................................................................................Done!
verify /sha512 (flash:cat9k_iosxe.16.12.04.SPA.bin) = 3e049849fce0c7522d1515dadc7d8c1cbbe7507614863ba4946b392120f9229add0acc0b8995c21f2791677b1441af50490f2960b11e01f9ceb4ca94cd5de2df

Set Boot Variable:

Cat9300(config)#boot system flash:packages.conf

Check Boot Variable settings:

Cat9300#show boot system

Partial output from show boot system command:

Boot Variables on next reload:
BOOT variable = flash:packages.conf;
Manual Boot = no

Dobrovolný dar

Ahoj čtenáři, rád bych tě poprosil aby ses zamyslel, co je vše potřeba ke vzniku článku.
Jakožto amatérský softwarový kutil musím:

1) Nejdříve vše nastudovat v cizích jazycích.
2) Vše následně prakticky vyzkoušet.
3) Svoje poznatky a zkušenosti napsat do článku který si právě přečetl v jazyku kterému rozumíš.
4) Dát článku hlavu a patu a publikovat.

Každý článek zabere několik hodin práce, za kterou mi nikdo neplatí.
Prosím zvaž, kolik času jsem ti právě ušetřil.
