Problem
Had a stack of 3560-X Switches to update today, and when I went looking for the notes I used last time, I could not find them. So This time I took the time to document the procedure.
Solution
Now I could load in the IOS image from TFTP like this, but last time I did this I used a spare USB drive and the image ‘tar’ file, and found it a lot less hassle.
1. Make sure you have formatted your dive at FAT32, download you image file to it and put it in the switch.
At console you should see something like this;

2. Update the switch like so;

3. At this point when the switch reloads, it will take a long time to boot as it performs a lot of updates and code rewrites when it restarts.
Upgrading The Catalyst Service Module
These switches have a 10Gb Service module in them that also needs updating, once the switch reboots you will have to wait a few minutes before the service module boots as well, if you don’t wait then you will see this; [box]

You may also see an error like this (I’ve blogged this before).

To perform the upgrade, you will need a matching image for the service module.
