Problem verify image (3560G 24-TS)

epohxavrio · ‎08-29-2008

I am trying to verify the image (before I power cycle the switch) that I just uploaded.

*dir flash:*

[output]

Directory of flash:/

*verify flash:*

[output]

Verify filename []? c3560-ipbasek9-mz.122-44.SE2/c3560-ipbasek9-mz.122-44.SE2.bin

%Error verifying flash:c3560-ipbasek9-mz.122-44.SE2/c3560-ipbasek9-mz.122-44.SE2.bin (No such file or directory)

[/output]

Why is this the case the file is there, if I do *dir flash:c3560-ipbasek9-mz.122-44.SE2/*

It shows the image exactly as entered above.

Note I can:

*verify /md5 image:...*

and it reveals the hash

Any ideas why I am unable to verify the image?

Thanks

Hello Epoh,

what if you copy the file on the root / and then use verify on it ?

or try:

verify flash:/c3560-ipbasek9-mz.122-44.SE2/c3560-ipbasek9-mz.122-44.SE2.bin

Hope to help

I copied the file to root and tried:

*verify flash:*

Verify filename []? c3560-ipbasek9-mz.122-44.SE2.bin

%Error verifying flash:c3560-ipbasek9-mz.122-44.SE2.bin (No such file or directory)

-------------

It did not work either.

Thanks,

Hello Epoh,

actually not all flash filesystems support the verify command. Some filesystems support the check of the MD5 hash and this could be happening in your case.

This could be an explanation.

see this link to IOS filesystems

actually I don't find verify in command reference

TAC sent me this link

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/switches/ps646/products_configuration_example09186a0080169623.shtml

for the 3560

I was just following the instructions.

I will check your links out.

Has anyone confirmed if there is a bug in the newer IOS versions with the verify command? i have same problem with 3550's and 3750's at least from 12.2(40)SE
