Step 1: Provide TCP/IP Connectivity to the L3 Module
The L3 module has the ability to receive new Cisco IOS images through the TFTP. To use TFTP with the image, you must ensure that the TFTP server (the computer that runs TFTP server software) can reach the L3 engine through TCP/IP. If you are able to ping the computer from the command-line interface (CLI) of the L3 module, you have successfully completed this step.
Setup of the L3 engine for IP connectivity is beyond the scope of this document.
To configure IP connectivity for each specific L3 module, refer to:
- Catalyst 4500/4000 4232-L3 module—Configuration and Overview of the Router Module for the Catalyst 4000 Family (WS-X4232-L3)For specific notes on how to gain IP connectivity for upgrades, refer to the Upgrading Images and Configuring the Management Port sections of the document Installation and Configuration Note for the Catalyst 4000 Layer 3 Services Module.
- Catalyst 5500/5000 RSM—Layer 3 Switching Software Configuration Guide
- Catalyst 6500/6000 MSFC—Catalyst 6000 Series MSFC (12.x) & PFC Configuration Guide.
Step 2: Copy the Image into the L3 Module Through the TFTP
Verify Free Space on the Bootflash
At this point, you need to verify that you have enough space in the bootflash to copy the new image. If there is not enough room, you have to delete some files to make space. In some situations, if the image is very large, you must delete the current image in the bootflash. On the MSFC, this deletion can be made safely if you also have the boot image in the bootflash. You use the boot image if the main image is corrupt or not available.
Note: The main image is the full feature set Cisco IOS image, whereas the boot image is essentially a scaled-down version of the main image. The boot image has limited sub-IP functionality with the intent to provide TFTP capabilities.
To determine the amount of free space and whether there is a boot image in the bootflash, issue the dir [device:]command.
Example:
In this example, the bootflash has 1,265,440 bytes free, and there is a boot image present (c6msfc2-boot-mz.121-6.E1). The word "boot" in the file name indicates a boot image.
c-MSFC15# dir bootflash: Directory of bootflash:/ 1 -rw- 1667488 Apr 20 2001 20:56:41 c6msfc2-boot-mz.121-6.E1 2 -rw- 12269412 Feb 05 2002 18:08:32 c6msfc2-jsv-mz.121-8a.E2 15204352 bytes total (1265440 bytes free)
Note: The Catalyst 4500/4000 4232-L3 module does not have boot image functionality. However, you are likely to find adequate space on the bootflash for the image. Also, as long as you do not reload the device, the module continues to function correctly. The module continues to work because the image is loaded into the DRAM upon boot and does not rely on the bootflash image once the system is up.
If you find that there is not enough space, you can delete the file. The delete [device:][file_name] command deletes the file.
Example:
c-MSFC15# delete bootflash:c6msfc2-jsv-mz.121-8a.E2 Delete filename [c6msfc2-jsv-mz.121-8a.E2]? c6msfc2-jsv-mz.121-8a.E2 Delete bootflash:c6msfc2-jsv-mz.121-8a.E2? [confirm]y c-MSFC15#
The file is removed once it is deleted and squeezed.
Copy the Image into Bootflash
At this stage, you have IP connectivity and can ping between the computer that acts as a TFTP server and the L3 module. Now, copy the image into the bootflash. If you cannot ping between devices, see the Step 1: Provide TCP/IP Connectivity to the L3 Module section of this document. Step 1 provides appropriate links for IP connectivity.
At the enable prompt, issue this command to copy from the TFTP server to your bootflash:
c-MSFC15# copy tftp bootflash
You see a prompt with this information:
Address or name of remote host []? 172.16.84.119
Address or name of remote host is the IP address of the TFTP server. The ping test in Step 1: Provide TCP/IP Connectivity to the L3 Module confirms the IP.
Source filename []? c6msfc2-jsv-mz.121-8a.E5
Source filename is the image file name. The file must be in your TFTP directory path so that the TFTP server can locate the file.
Note: The file name must be spelled exactly the same, which includes any capitalization.
Destination filename [flash]? c6msfc2-jsv-mz.121-8a.E5
Destination filename is the file name of the image that you intend to save onto the bootflash. Use of the same file name as the source name ensures that, in the future, you can correctly identify the software features and version run.
If you do not have enough space in the bootflash, Cisco IOS Software asks if you want to delete the current image to make room for the new image.
The transfer can take some time, which depends on the speed of the connection and the size of the image. During the transfer, you see exclamation marks ("!" ) for good packets. The appearance of periods (".") indicates that the link has taken some hits. Investigate the problem afterward.
A successful TFTP transfer reports an OK, along with the number of bytes transferred. If you do not receive an OK, investigate IP connectivity and possible TFTP server issues.
Example:
c-MSFC15# copy tftp bootflash Address or name of remote host []? 172.16.84.119 Source filename []? c6msfc2-jsv-mz.121-8a.E5 Destination filename [flash]? c6msfc2-jsv-mz.121-8a.E5 Accessing tftp://172.16.84.119/c6msfc2-jsv-mz.121-8a.E5... Loading c6msfc2-jsv-mz.121-8a.E5 from 172.16.84.119 (via Vlan1): !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !--- Output suppressed. [OK - 12269412/24538112 bytes] 12269412 bytes copied in 523.852 secs (23459 bytes/sec) c-MSFC15#
After you have successfully transferred the file, verify that the file is in the bootflash:
Issue the dir [device:] command to show files that are currently in the bootflash.
Example:
c-MSFC15# dir bootflash: Directory of bootflash:/ 1 -rw- 1667488 Apr 20 2001 20:56:41 c6msfc2-boot-mz.121-6.E1 2 -rw- 12269412 Feb 05 2002 18:08:32 c6msfc2-jsv-mz.121-8a.E5
Verify that the name and the file size are correct.
Step 3: Set Boot Statement
After you copy the image through TFTP, you must provide the L3 module with the name of the image to load upon boot.
Check Current Boot Statements
The image is now in the bootflash. You must set the L3 module to boot the new image. By default, the L3 module boots the first available image. (An absence of boot commands in the configuration enables the default.) There is a possibility that you have a previous boot statement defined.
There are two ways to determine the current boot parameter settings.
- Method 1 is to issue the show config command:Example:
c-MSFC15# show config Building configuration... Current configuration : 1625 bytes ! version 12.1 service timestamps debug datetime msec localtime ! hostname c-MSFC15 ! boot system flash bootflash:c6msfc2-jsv-mz.121-8a.E4 boot bootldr bootflash:c6msfc2-boot-mz.121-6.E1 ! ip subnet-zero ! --More--
Check to see if the configuration has any boot commands. The commands appear toward the top of the configuration. - Method 2 is to issue the show boot command:Example:
c-MSFC15# show boot BOOT variable = bootflash:c6msfc2-jsv-mz.121-8a.E4,1 CONFIG_FILE variable = BOOTLDR variable = bootflash:c6msfc2-boot-mz.121-6.E1 Configuration register is 0x102
Check to see if the boot statements appear under the parameter BOOT variable.If you have boot entries, you must remove them from the configuration. For more information on the removal of boot entries, see the Remove Previous Boot Statements section of this document.
Remove Previous Boot Statements
To remove the statements, enter into configuration terminal mode. From the configuration mode, you can negate any command with the issue of no in front of each boot statement.
This example illustrates the removal of a boot statement:
Example:
c-MSFC15# show config Building configuration... Current configuration : 1625 bytes ! version 12.1 service timestamps debug datetime msec localtime ! hostname c-MSFC15 ! boot system flash bootflash:c6msfc2-jsv-mz.121-8a.E4 boot bootldr bootflash:c6msfc2-boot-mz.121-6.E1 ! ip subnet-zero ! --More--
At this point, you have the boot statement that you want to remove. The statement to remove is boot system flash bootflash:c6msfc2-jsv-mz.121-8a.E4.
c-MSFC15# configure terminal Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. c-MSFC15(config)# no boot system flash bootflash:c6msfc2-jsv-mz.121-8a.E4 c-MSFC15(config)# ^Z c-MSFC15#
Verify that you have removed the command:
Example:
c-MSFC15# show config
Building configuration...
Current configuration : 1625 bytes
!
version 12.1
service timestamps debug datetime msec localtime
!
hostname c-MSFC15
!
boot bootldr bootflash:c6msfc2-boot-mz.121-6.E1
!--- Note: Now the boot statement no longer appears in the configuration.
!
ip subnet-zero
!
--More--
Once the commands are removed, you can issue the copy run start command or the write memory command to save the configuration to NVRAM.
Example:
c-MSFC15# write memory 3d01h: %SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by vty0 (127.0.0.11) Building configuration... c-MSFC15#
Set the New Boot Statement
You must add the boot statement to indicate which image the L3 module needs to load.
Issue this command to set the boot parameter:
- boot system flash bootflash:[image_name]Note: In this command, image_name is the name of the new Cisco IOS image.
Example:
c-MSFC15# configure terminal Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. c-MSFC15(config)# boot system flash bootflash:c6msfc2-jsv-mz.121-8a.E5 c-MSFC15(config)# ^Z c-MSFC15# write memory 3d01h: %SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by vty0 (127.0.0.11) Building configuration... c-MSFC15#
Be sure to verify that the config-register value is set to 0x2102 with the issue of the show boot command. If config-register is set to a different value, you can change it with the issue of this command in configuration mode:
- config-register 0xvalue
Example:
c-MSFC15# configure terminal Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. c-MSFC15(config)# config-register 0x2102 c-MSFC15(config)# ^Z c-MSFC15# write memory
Verify the boot parameters with the issue of the show boot command:
c-MSFC15# show boot BOOT variable = bootflash:c6msfc2-jsv-mz.121-8a.E5,1 CONFIG_FILE variable = BOOTLDR variable = bootflash:c6msfc2-boot-mz.121-6.E1 Configuration register is 0x102 (will be 0x2102 at next reload) c-MSFC15#
After you change the config-register, the change takes place at the next reload, as the example shows.
Step 4: Reload the L3 Module
For the L3 module to run the new Cisco IOS image, you must reload the module. Make sure that you have saved the configuration. Issue the copy run start command or the write memory to save the configuration.
Example:
c-MSFC15# write memory 3d01h: %SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by vty0 (127.0.0.11) Building configuration... c-MSFC15#
Issue the reload command to soft reset the L3 module, as this example shows:
Example:
c-MSFC15# reload Proceed with reload? [confirm] 00:00:40: %SYS-5-RELOAD: Reload requested System Bootstrap, Version 12.1(2r)E, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1) Copyright (c) 20 0 0 by cisco Systems, Inc.

Step 5: Verify the Upgrade
After the L3 module comes up, make sure that you run the new version of code. Issue the show version command to check.
Example:
c-MSFC15# show version Cisco Internetwork Operating System Software IOS (tm) MSFC2 Software (C6MSFC2-JSV-M), Version 12.1(8a)E5, EARLY DEPLOYMENT RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc2) !--- Note: Now the MSFC runs the new software image.

Configuration register is 0x2102 c-MSFC15#
Verify that the version (12.1(8a)E5) is correct and that the config-register is set (0x2102).
The upgrade is complete.
Note: If you have dual MSFCs, you must download the image onto the second MSFC bootflash: device. The image does not automatically download to the second MSFC. This requirement is also applies to config-sync mode and Single Router Mode (SRM). In config-sync mode and SRM, changes in the boot variables automatically propagate to the nondesignated or standby MSFC. To copy an image from bootflash to the bootflash of a nondesignated or standby MSFC, issue the copy bootflash:source_filename slavebootflash:target_filenamecommand.
Boot the MSFC with CatOS Software from Flash PC
When you run Catalyst OS (CatOS) software on the Supervisor Engine, you can choose to boot the MSFC from an image in the Supervisor Engine slot0 Flash PC Card slot. Your boot system statement refers to the Flash device as sup-slot0. Although there is support for such a boot process, avoid use of it. Use this boot process only as a temporary step, such as when you test an image. Be aware of Cisco bug ID CSCdr35304 
( registered customers only) .
( registered customers only) .
You cannot issue commands such as the dir sup-slot0: command or the show sup-slot0: commands from the MSFC because the MSFC does not consider slot0 to be a local file system. If you specify sup-slot0 as the source of the operating system image, the switch transfers the file through TFTP across the internal switching bus between the sc0 interface on the Supervisor Engine and a special loopback IP address on the MSFC.
From the MSFC CLI, you can issue this command:
FIRE-MSFC1# copy tftp ? bootflash: Copy to bootflash: file system ftp: Copy to ftp: file system microcode: Copy to microcode: file system null: Copy to null: file system nvram: Copy to nvram: file system rcp: Copy to rcp: file system running-config Update (merge with) current system configuration slavenvram: Copy to slavenvram: file system startup-config Copy to startup configuration sup-slot0: Copy to sup-slot0: file system system: Copy to system: file system tftp: Copy to tftp: file system
The sup-slot0 device also appears in the show file systems command output:
