What is the procedure for upgrading a WS-X6K-S1A-MSFC2 to the lastest software?

Follow these procedures to ensure that a WS-X6K-S1A-MSFC2 is running the latest code on both the Supervisor 1 and the MSFC2 router feature card.

Upgrade the Supervisor 1 (WS-X6K-SUP1A-2GE) to latest code.

Step 1: Assign an IP address to SC0 (Fibre) port on the supervisor engine.

set interface sc0 192.168.1.10 255.255.255.0
set interface sco up

Step 2: Copy software image from a TFTP server.

Console> (enable) copy tftp flash
IP address or name of remote host [192.168.1.30]?
Name of file to copy from [cat6000-supk8.7-6-14.bin]?
Flash device [bootflash]?
Name of file to copy to [cat6000-supk8.7-6-14.bin]?
15990656 bytes available on device bootflash, proceed (y/n) [n]? y

Note: You may need to format the bootflash using "format bootflash" before you copy the new image from your TFTP server.

Step 3: Clear and assign the new image to the boot variable.

clear boot system all
set boot sys flash bootflash:cat6000-supk8.7-6-14.bin prepend

Step 4: Reset the switch to allow the new software version to load.

reset

Upgrade the MSFC2 to latest code. (Done after you upgrade the OS on the Supervisor Engine as detailed above.)

Step 1: After the switch reloads, switch to the console port on the MSFC2.

switch console

Step 2: Assign an IP address to the MSFC2 for upgrading from a TFTP server.

conf terminal
int vlan 1
ip address 192.168.1.10 255.255.255.0
no shutdown
exit
exit

Step 3: Ping your TFTP server to make sure you have connectivity.

ping 192.168.1.30

Step 4: If ping is ok, copy from TFTP to flash. The MSFC2 carries two separate images, one is a boot helper image and the other is the system image. The following will copy both images.

copy tftp flash
Address or name of remote host [192.168.1.30]?
Source filename [c6msfc2-boot-mz.121-26.E3.bin]?
Destination filename [flash]? c6msfc2-boot-mz.121-26.E3.bin

copy tftp flash
Address or name of remote host [192.168.1.30]?
Source filename [c6msfc2-boot-mz.121-26.E3.bin]? c6msfc2-jsv-mz.121-26.E3.bin
Destination filename [flash]? c6msfc2-jsv-mz.121-26.E3.bin

Note: You may need to format your bootflash before you can copy the new boot and system image from your TFTP server.

Note 2: The bootflash must be large enough to accomodate both images. Default bootflash modules are 16MB, you may need to upgrade the bootflash to 32MB for newer images.

Step 5: Change boot variable to load the new boot loader and system image.

conf terminal
boot bootldr bootflash:c6msfc2-boot-mz.121-26.E3.bin
boot sys flash bootflash:c6msfc2-jsv-mz.121-26.E3.bin
exit
write memory

Step 6: Reload MSFC2 and switch back to Supervisor Engine Console

reload
CTRL C+C+C
