Hi everyone,
I have several questions concerning a switch 3650 24T, i would want to know the procedure to upgrade the IOS by TFTP ans by the mode console, to clean the flash memory.
And how to stop the services:
- setup express
- exception memory ignore overflow io
- exception memory ignore overflow processor
Thanks,
Christopher.

Hi,
The 3650 series switches come with a USB port. The easiest way to upgrade the IOS is by loading the IOS you want to a USB flash and than insert the flash to the USB port of the switch. Copy and paste from USB to flash, change the boot variable on the switch to make sure the new image will load after the reboot, save your config and than reboot the switch.

Something like:
software install file tftp://a.b.c.d/file.bin
Note that it can take 15 minutes after the reboot before the switch comes back online. So be patient and don't panic about it being broken.
I'm not sure about your other questions.

1) I can use the port of management to make the upgrade of the IOS, and how ?
Or I have to make a configuration.
2) And On a switch 2950, I could stop the services:
- setup express
- exception memory ignore overflow io
- exception memory ignore overflow processor
but on one 3650, I do not know if is deactivated by default.
Anybody knows ?
Thanks,
Christopher.

Not sure what are asking here.
1) I can use the port of management to make the upgrade of the IOS, and how ?
Or I have to make a configuration.
What switch model are you referring to?
if this is a 3650, as I said on my first post use the USB port.
2) And On a switch 2950, I could stop the services:
no sure what your asking
Configuration file and the IOS image are 2 different things.
You don't need to stop any services when upgrading IOS.

All right for the question 1), thank you. So the upgrade by the USB is better that "install software" process. I had understood the opposite.
Thanks,
Christopher.

You should definitely use the "software install" command for this platform, but you can install it from the USB memory stick instead of TFTP if you like.

Ok,

You really should use the "software install" process on this platform rather than change the boot environment variable. The platform is modular, and you may not upgrade everything using that approach.

Thanks for you reply,
With which command, I can "Copy and paste from USB to flash, change the boot variable on the switch to make sure the new image will load after the reboot" please.
Thanks,

Chris,
Use this command:
copy usbflash0 flash:<name of the file or image>
Make sure that the USB you are using is actually compatible with the switch, as not all USBs work with Cisco switches/routers.
And the way you test the USB is by inserting it into the switch and than try reading one of the files on it.
Good Luck

Thank you Reza Sharifi.

Once copy and paste completed, than try this:
config t
boot system flash:<name of the ios>
exit
wr
reload.
It takes about 5 to 7 min for the switch to reboot with the new image.
