WS-C3524-PWR-xl boot permission error

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.

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/customer/products/hw/switches/ps607/products_tech_note09186a00800946e5.shtml#table3

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

Giuseppe
