Catalyst 3750G-12S-E upgrade latest IOS images

Hi to all,
I've a question regarding the Upgrade to the latest IOS image since this 3750G model is one of the latest which have on-board only 16MB of Flash...
I've seen that latest IOS .tar images with SSH and Web Device are about 15.5MB or more, so I've tried to install one of these with archive /overwrite feature without succeeding...then tried to free up all the flash space needed but I've had the same problem!!!
How should I proceed??? Are this image only for other 3750models????
Thx
Omar

I ran into this same problem on my 3750G switches. Use the lm image for the switch and use Cisco's Network Assistant for managment or go command line.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/cisco_network_assistant/version5_0/release/notes/OL12210a.html#wp670016
Catalyst 3750 or 3560 switches with a 16-MB flash memory can experience problems due to flash memory constraints, especially if they are using larger size images, such as c3750-ipservicesk9-tar, c3560-ipservicesk9-tar, c3750-ipbasek9-tar. or c3750-ipbasek9-tar images. These are the affected switches:
Catalyst 3560: WS-C3560-24PS and WS-C3560-48PS
Catalyst3750: WS-C3750-24PS, WS-C3750-24TS, WS-C3750-48PS, WS-C3750-48TS, WS-3750G-24T, WS-C3750G-12S , WS-C3750G-24WS, WS-C3750G-24TS, WS-C3750G-16TD
The workaround for these switches is to use the corresponding lm images, such as the c3750-ipserviceslmk9-tar or c3560-ipserviceslmk9-tar images, which require less memory. In future releases, images are expected to grow more in size, requiring more need for the lm images.

Need IOS image

I bought a 2610 router on e-bay. The router needs an IOS image loaded. this? When I go to the download page it says I dont have a valid permission, or I need a special access code.Am I going to have to pay for this?

You cannot download CCO software without a CCO user ID which has rights to download software. Also, since you bought this router on the grey market, the following page should help

I need help with Flash Player, "movie not loaded".

Sometimes movie loads, sometimes not. Sometimes loads upon refresh, somtimes not. I cannot figure out how to get Flash to load reliably. This happens frequently while surfing the internet with IE10 on Windows 7 64bit sp. I use Microsoft Security Essentials and Windows Firewall. I prefer to set pop-up blocking on high but have lowered it to medium to no avail. I have uninstalled Flash using the step by step instructions on Adobe site and reinstalled version 12.0.0.77 twice. I have unstalled and reinstalled IE 10. Clearing the catch does not help. Clicking in and out of compatability setting also does not get flash to load. I have run out of ideas. Is there some setting I am missing. Flash is on so many sites and its so unreliable it is frustrating.

Sorry, I thought I had mentioned everything. Active x filtering is off and Shockwave flash object is enabled. I have cleared the IE catch and the Flash Player catch.
I should also point out that it is not that some videos play and others do not, The same video will work sometimes and sometimes not. I go back to check and sometimes the video loads and then it doesn't again. I wondered if it had to do with different advertisers before the link played or something like that. Something is randomly happening it seems.

Unable to load itunes store on iphone 4S after updating to ios 7

After I updated my iphone 4S to ios 7, I am unable to load the itunes store on my phone. It spins like it is loading and then stops, but the screen is blank. Does anyone know what might cause this?

Are you talking about the Search screen? If so, it has been hung up for the last 24 hours....undoubtedly server related. I do not have IOS 7 yet, but it is doing the same thing on my iPhone....
I'm waiting until the weekend to try it again. No point in getting crazy over it.

CATALYST 2950 SERIES - CLEAR OPT TABLE & DISABLE CASH

I have 2 cisco switches model - catalyst 2950 series, i recently had an network issue regarding an ip conflict with one of my member servers, after being on the phone with microsoft support for 6 days, we were able to resolve the problem by locating the correct mac address and clearing the "OPT table on the switches" by unplugging and replugging the power cord. In order to prevent this from happening again, Microsoft had asked me to contact cisco and ask the following questions, " Are these swiches managable via the gui? and we also need to make sure that the "Arp Cash is disabled on the switches" can anyone help in this matter? Thanks in advance.

Catalyst 2950 series

Hello everybody,
I have a Cisco Switch, model WS-C2950C-24 with the IOS version 12.0(5.3)WC(1).
I have created two VLANs, so I have trying to assign one Ethernet port to those VLANS,
I saw, this option is not avaliable. Switch(config-if)# switchport mode multi vlan [#], [#]. (this command does not exit).
When I typed switchport mode ? , It appears just access and trunk,
Could you help me to find a command to assign one port to several VLANs.?
Thank you.
Best Regards,

2950s do not support multi-VLAN ports. You need to make it a trunk if you need to pass more than one VLAN over a link.
You are seeing it in parser because you are running ancient 12.0 code(which also runs on XL series which support multivlan ports).

Cryptographic IOS versions on Catalyst Switches

1. Where can one find the differences between Catalyst switch IOS with cryptographic features and without cryptographic features?
2. In order to access Cat switches over SSH and HTTPS, do we require Cryptographic versions of the Cat IOS?
3. What does "k9" stands for in IOS names? e.g. "3560-ipservicesk9"
Thanks

Hi
Answer to Q1 :
Best plase to compare the Catos and IOS is
www.cisco.com/go/fn
there you can search by ios names or platforms or features and compare images.
Answer to Q2 :
Yes you need Cryptographic version
Answer to Q3 :
K9 stand for Cryptographic version if you have ipservicesk9 you can do SSH in the feature navigator if you search the ios without K9 you will find this :
IP SERVICES W/O Crypto
that means this catos does not support Cryptographic.

Catalyst 2950 Series - Monitoring Port

Do the catalyst 2950 series have a port that can be used to connect a device that is designed to monitor all traffic on the switch - we are looking to install Webspy to track network & internet usage. The Sentinal product would best be connected to the switch where it can record all traffic - it needs a monitor port or some such equivalent.

Hi,
The 2950 does indeed support that - the functionality is called Switch Port Analyzer (SPAN). The following link has details on how to configure it:

IOS Image too big, need help

Folks,
I have dual Sup 720's that just came in from cisco. They have CATOS on them 8.4.(5). They have the base 524MB of DRAM and 64MB of flash(bootflash), no external flash card.
My question is that i want to download Natice IOS onto this switch (122.18SXE4). When i see the requirements it tells me that i need 128MB of flash, but when i download the file it is only 35 MB big.
Ca i run this image on my SUP with out upgrading the flash?
I will make sure that i grade this post.

If the image size is less than 64MB, then booting from bootflash is OK. Beginning with Sup720 12.2(18)SXE and later versions, most Native IOS images exceed the 64MB capacity of all internal partitions, including the sup-bootflash: or MSFC3 bootflash:
partitions, so for 12.2(18)SXE and later an external flash device of at least 128MB is required with Cisco part number MEM-C6K-CPTFL128M=. For multiple concurrent image support in this boot device, the external 256MB CompactFlash Cisco part number of MEM-C6K-CPTFL256M= is required to use as the external boot device.
Some feature sets of versions > 12.2(18)SXE result in a smaller file, but as long as it is less than 64MB, there is no problem with loading it onto onboard flash.

How can i upgrade system IOS images of routers, switches and firewalls

Hi,
I am very much surprised and less of understanding yet how Cisco's licensing program or IOS upgrades are done. I have many routers, switches & ASA's of whom i wan to upgrade the IOS's but i cannot do so. How ever i can download those images from internet but i want to know how can i do this from Cisco as i don't want to trust those IOS's available over internet.
As per my study what i have found that i need to have Cisco Service Contract number for that devices so that i can download updated IOS Images for them.
Someone kindly explain what are the best methods for the above requirements.
Regards
@Mohammed

You're correct regarding a service contract. Cisco calls this Smartnet support. It includes both hardware support (i.e. returns for failed hardware), software support (including right to download and upgrade your software) and technical assistance (via the Cisco TAC). Smartnet is charged separately for each covered device. Once you have it, your cisco.com userid needs to be associated with your service contract number. Doing that will then allow you to download the software from cisco.com. (There are some very limited cases in which you don't have to have a support contract - mostly when there is a security advisory (PSIRT) indicating the Cisco software was flawed as it was initially released.)
Every product (or product family) has a product support page on cisco.com. That page includes release notes, configuration guide, users guides, and a link to software downloads for that product. Start by reading the release notes and determining which (if any) upgrade is appropriate for your product. Then you can download and upgrade the software as necessary.

Catalyst 2950 Standard or Enhanced Image

Hello,
can someone, please, tell me the software difference between Catalist WS-C2950G-24-EI and WS-C2950C-24. The product adviser is not very clear about it.
Thank you in advance.
Cordially.

Hello Maxime,
basically, the EI has more advanced QoS and Security features.

Bootloader and IOS image into a Catalyst 6509 running hybrid mode

Hi all,
I have a Catalyst 6509 running CatOS and IOS (hybrid mode)
The chassis is based on a SUP1A and a MSFC2
The MSFC is using images:
boot system bootflash:c6msfc2-is-mz.121-2.E
boot bootldr bootflash:c6msfc2-boot-mz.121-2.E
I would like to know if is possible to add the next command to the MSFC configuration in order to load the new image before erase the old one, even while the chassis boot using the old bootloader image:
boot system tftp c6msfc2-pk2o3sv-mz.121-26.E2.bin 10.10.5.15
Thanks.

Thanks Amit, thanks Ankur,
Yeah! I know about the limits of the bootflash space as the PCMCIA option.
It is a bit complicated to explaint the situation here but I will try.
Neither the actual CatOS or IOS will recognize the new PCMCIA we bought to this upgrade. :P
First, I will upgrade CatOS using rommon and xmodem command in order to execute a new catos release that can view the PCMCIA, then I will format it and I will copy the new catos image and the new ios image there.
Then I will change the catos boot config and I will do a reset.
I must do that because the new release don't enter into the bootflash and the actual CatOS don't support boot from the network :P. It is CatOS 5.5.1 :PPP
After that, I need also to upgrade the MSFC because as I read that the actual IOS won't see the PCMCIA filesystem. In order to do that I would like to prepare the MSFC to boot from a TFTP server and then modify the configuration to boot from sup-slot0: forever :)
Let me know what do you think about this steps.

How do you backup a Cisco 2950 IOS image?

I cant find anywhere on Cisco's website on how to do this or anywhere else for that matter.

Hector,
The copy tftp method is the most commonly used method to copy files from flash to a TFTP server or vice versa. But if you have CMS (cluster management suite) instlled on your flash, there will be an associated html folder and many other files that are extracted in flash. To upload these files, along with the IOS image, you will need to use the following command.
archive upload-sw tftp:///IOS-CMS2950.tar
This will compress all the files (IOS and CMS files) together in a tar (compressed) format and upload it to the TFTP server specified by
Copying each of the above files individually will consume a lot of time.

I recently found my daughter's old ipod touch. I wanted to give it to my four year old. We can't get apps because a message appears saying we need ios 4.3. Is that something I can get or is this product useless at this point?

I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.
Identifying iPod models
