Hi
I am in the process of updating the software on a Catalyst 3500 series switch. I deleted the old bin file and copied over the new file via xmodem.
I used this as a guide.
the image I used is:
c3500xl-c3h2s-mz.120-5.WC17.bin
Once the xmodem copy is complete I performed the following sequence of steps:
File "xmodem:c3500xl-c3h2s-mz.120-5.WC17.bin" successfully copied to "flash:c350
0xl-c3h2s-mz.120-5.WC17.bin"
switch: dir flash:

==============================
The last output is where I am stuck. What am I missing?

dumb mistake on my end.
switch: set boot flash c3500xl-c3h2s-mz.120-5.WC17.bin
should have been:
switch: set BOOT flash:c3500xl-c3h2s-mz.120-5.WC17.bin switch: boot
Boot is case sensitive. :-)

Hello,
the ROMMON shell is case sensitive
you are actually setting the value for a variable named BOOT that is the meaning of the command
Hope to help
