CatOS to IOS conversion

I would like to convert CatOS configuration file to IOS
I am trying to use the Configuration Conversion Tool on Cisco web
CatOS has two configuration file ( SUP Configuration & MSFC configuration )
Which file should I paste on the Conversion tool to be converted ?
Some commands can't be converted (Skipped Commands) ?
Any one has experince with the Cat configuration conversion tool can help me ?
Regards
Mohamed

Hi Mohamed,
The MSFC configuration you will not need to translate. This configuration is always in IOS mode and it will be the same in the native mode.
I have some translation to your CatOS commands:
set password xxxxxxxxx
set enablepass xxxxxxxxx
You will not need because you will use the password from your MSFC configuration.
set prompt tower_main --> hostname touwer_main
set system highavailability enable
set inlinepower defaultallocation 7000
These 2 commands I don't remember.
set spantree mode pvst+
This command you will not need because this is the default mode of spantree.
set vtp passwd portfast --> vtp passwd porfast
set vtp version 2 --> vtp version 2
set ip alias default 0.0.0.0
set logging server enable
set timezone PDT -7 0
set boot config-register 0x2102
These commands above you won't need because they must already exist in your MSFC configuration.
set boot system flash bootflash:cat6000-sup2k8.8-2-1.bin
Your will replace this with the new IOS image in the native mode, and the syntax is the same that in youe MSFC configuration:
boot system flash bootflash:image.bin
set igmp querier enable 1,500,700
set port dot1x 1/1 guest-vlan 0
set port qos 3/4,3/9,3/11 trust trust-cos
set port qos 3/1-4,3/9-12 policy-source local
set port qos 4/11 trust trust-cos
set port qos 4/9-12 policy-source local
These other commands above I don't remember.
set span 1 10/13 both inpkts disable learning enable multicast enable create
In the native mode you will replace the "set span" with the command "monitor session". Here is an example:
monitor session 1 source interface fastEthernet 0/1 both
monitor session 1 destination interface fastEthernet 0/9
It will monitor fast0/1 and will send all the traffic to interface fast0/9
I hope that this can help you.

CatOS to IOS conversion without RP

We have a Cat 6509 with a WS-SUP32-GE-3B and want to convert the CatOS to IOS. We need to know if we can do the conversion, since we don't have a Route Processor implemented on the switch infrastructure. This environment consists of pure layer 2 switches with stand alone switch processors and no routing capabilities. Everything we've read shows navigating into the RP to load the new image. Would we be capable of converting to IOS in this instance?
Thanks for any help..

I am not at the remote site, but this is the show module for the CAT 6509:
Here's the list of modules within the chassis:
Mod Slot Ports Module-Type Model Sub Status
1 1 48 10/100/1000BaseT Ethernet WS-X6148A-GE-TX no ok
2 2 48 10/100/1000BaseT Ethernet WS-X6148A-GE-TX no ok
3 3 48 10/100/1000BaseT Ethernet WS-X6148A-GE-TX no ok
4 4 48 10/100/1000BaseT Ethernet WS-X6148A-GE-TX no ok

Catalyst 4003 CatOS to IOS conversion.

Hello!
We are currently running CatOS on our Catalyst 4003 but would like to convert to IOS so we can monitor ports using Cisco Network Assistant.
Can this be done? I've seen documentation for the 6500 but not the Catalyst 4000's.
Thanks
Stuart

If you have a cat4000 running CatOS that means you have a supI or SupII, these sups cannot be converted to IOS. The same is true if you would want to convert a SupII+ or above which runs IOS exclusively, they cannot be converted to CatOS. Cat4000 sups have entirely different hadrware architecture than Cat6K sups so they cannot be compared.

Catalyst 5505 conversion from CatOS to IOS

I want to know if somebody has the CatOS to IOS conversion procedure for a Catalyst 5505.
Thank´s a lot
Jorge

The Cat 5000s always run only CATOS. Only the L3 module supports IOS.Only the sup engines on the6500 and7600 support theconversion from CATOS toIOS.

Catalyst 6509 Conversion from CatOS to IOS.

Hi,
I am converting a Cat6509 Sup720 CatOS to IOS.The switch also has a FWSM configured. During converting CatOS to IOS will the FWSM configuration be erased or affected by any means ?
Regards
Kas

there should be no affect or deletion/problems with the FWSM during your IOS conversion.
haven't seen any issues in my LAB. the conversion process has a part where the CatOS commands/config are converted to the IOS commands/config required.
you should make sure you backup the FWSM configuration and partitions before you begin.
please see the following link for the CatOS to IOS conversion tasks for the sup720:

CATOS to IOS commands

Hi,
Just wandering if someone could tell me the IOS equivalent to these CATOS commands. I have been to the CATOS TO IOS Conversion utility Page and to be honest it doesn't work properly and skips a majority of commands.
The CATOS commands l need translated to IOS are :
set trunk 11/8 nonegotiate dot1q 1-1005,1024-4094
clear trunk 11/8 1006-1023
clear trunk 11/6 1-39,41-99,101-339,341-419,421-4094
set trunk 11/6 nonegotiate dot1q 40,100,340,420
clear trunk 11/13 1006-1023
set trunk 11/13 auto-negotiate 1-1005,1024-4094
#IPACLVLAN280
set qos acl ip IPACLVLAN280 dscp 32 ip any any
commit qos acl all
set qos acl map IPACLVLAN280 280
Thanks much appreciated

hi,
the three trunk command-blocks should be converted in this way:
clear trunk 11/8 1006-1023
set trunk 11/8 nonegotiate dot1q 1-1005,1024-4094
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport trunk allowed vlan 1-1005,1024-4094
switchport mode trunk
clear trunk 11/6 1-39,41-99,101-339,341-419,421-4094
set trunk 11/6 nonegotiate dot1q 40,100,340,420
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport trunk allowed vlan 40,100,340,420
switchport mode trunk
clear trunk 11/13 1006-1023
set trunk 11/13 auto-negotiate 1-1005,1024-4094
switchport trunk encapsulation negotiate
switchport trunk allowed vlan 1-1005,1024-4094
switchport mode dynamic auto

6509 conversion from CatOS to IOS

I am interested in hearing from those who have converted from CatOS to IOS using 6500 as primarily a LAN switch with InterVLAN routing. Are there valid reasons / advantages to running IOS over CatOS? It seems to me that the CatOS is more efficient language for configuring switch ports and the IOS is better for configuring routing. I use 6509 in the core for server farms mostly and with the integration of many IOS based switches (3750) I am considering migrating the 6509 to IOS as well.
Thanks,
Greg

Greg,
Cisco may support CATOS for a while, but I do think that they may end of life it in the future. Thats why there is a big push on the IOS over CATOS.
I feel that the IOS is equally efficient in configuring switch ports as CATOS. You can use interface range commands to configure common parameters to a range of switch ports. And the great thing about configuring switchports in IOS is that it will have the same syntax like your 3750 switches.
Here is a link that compares commands on both switches which will help a lot after migration.

CatOS to IOS Converter tool

Hi,
Does anybody have any experience of using the CatOS to IOS Converter tool on a Sup720?
Just to be clear, I'm not referring to the Configuration conversion tool but to the actual OS conversion tool. The CCO document (http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/switches/ps708/products_tech_note09186a008070f124.shtml)
indicates the tool was tested on a Sup2 only but i was wondering if it could be used with the Sup720's as well?
If not i assume everyone would suggest the manual method as the preferred method of converting from Hybrid to Native?
Thanks

Sup32 from CATOS to IOS

I am about to begin a conversion from CATOS to IOS. I was wondering if I could do the following:
1: Use a new flash card, and format it in an NATIVE IOS Sup720
2: Put the correct code and configuration on it
3: Put it in the Sup32 and rebooted it
Would this then allow the Sup32 to boot up using IOS and not CATOS. I know I may have to copy the configuration from the flash to NVRAM but it seems like the quickest process, instead of the 30 minutes based on CCO documentation.
Thanks

I actually just tried this and it workerd. I took a sup32 that was running CATOS. Put in a CF card that was formated in a SUP720 with the IOS image on it. Replaced the on-board CF card with the new one. The system booted and couldn't find and files. I put the boot variable in ROMMON mode and bam up and running. Just had to change the bootvar in IOS and create the new config. Much faster than doing two copies of a 76MB file.

WLSE VxWorks to IOS Conversion Failure

Has anyone noted a failure on the VxWorks to IOS Conversion that yeilds a results of no ability to log into the Access Point via Browser?
Telnet works, as well as direct Console connection.
Second is the browser access functions, but requests a logon/password, and fails every attempt with all known Logon/Passwords? Note, all accounts are functional when accessing Telet and/or Console Port.
Any Issues with the Conversion Template in WLSE?

Follow-Up for "rmushtag". Do you have a back channel EMail addy. I have a follow-up question I'd rather take off-line.
Thanks

IOS conversion from VxWorks 12.03

I have heard a rumor that you can not update to IOS from VxWorks 12.03. YOu have to go back down to 12.02 and then upgrade from there......Does this rumor have any merit?
Thanks

There is merit to the rumor. Cisco does not recommend performing an IOS conversion on a 12.03T VxWorks AP because of a problem with the flash overwrite. It's possible that the conversion may be successful, but there is a chance of it resulting in a non-recoverable situation.

CatOS versus IOS

Hi all.
Can any body please explain to me what is the difference between CatOS and IOS.

Hi Friend,
CatOS on the Supervisor Engine and Cisco IOS Software on the MSFC (Hybrid): A CatOS image can be used as the system software to run the Supervisor Engine on Catalyst 6500/6000 switches. If the optional MSFC is installed, a separate Cisco IOS Software image is used to run the MSFC.
Cisco IOS Software on both the Supervisor Engine and MSFC (Native): A single Cisco IOS Software image can be used as the system software to run both the Supervisor Engine and MSFC on Catalyst 6500/6000 switches.

Cisco AP350 Vxwork to IOS Conversion

Hi,
I'm trying to convert my cisco 350 from VxWorks to IOS. In the middle of uploading I received an error. Unable to detect source AP: Check: 1. Network connectivity, 2. User's Capability and 3. Whether SNMP is enabled in the source AP. However I'm unable to connect back to the AP using the browser interface. I also tried using the IPSU tool to get the IP address from the MAC address and that return a message "Device does not answer." Is there any other way to connect to the AP and reconfigure it? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike

Not sure what status screen you are referring to but if you follow the procedure below verbatim, you should be able to recover it.
Recover from a Failure
The menu that displays after the boot process is the VxWorks bootloader, which is functionally equivalent to ROM monitor (ROMmon) in Cisco IOS Software. Neither of the full operating systems is loaded or available, so neither of the full command sets is available.
Note: If the VxWorks bootloader has been upgraded to Cisco IOS Software ROMmon but Flash memory has no operating system available, the unit displays the ap: prompt. In order to recover from this condition, refer to the Using the MODE button section in the Troubleshooting chapter of the Configuration Guide.
Use these steps to restart the conversion process and get the unit back up:
1.
If there is an 802.11a radio module installed (AIR-RM20A), remove it during the rest of this procedure.
2.
Verify that the connection settings in the terminal application are 9600-8-None-1 and NO flow control (not hardware or software).
3.
Format the Flash memory for the unit to accept the VxWorks upgrade image:
1.
Press Ctrl-Z in order to bring up the hidden Format menu.
2.
Press exclamation point (!, Shift-1) in order to choose Format.
3.
Press 3 in order to choose Flash memory.
Note: 3 is usually the choice for Flash memory. But you may have to enter a different number, which depends on your setup.
4.
Press Y (Shift-y) in order to confirm the decision to reformat the Flash memory.
The reformat takes a few moments, after which the bootloader menu appears again.
4.
Transfer the upgrade image onto the AP.
Complete these steps in order to start the transfer of the upgrade image:
1.
Press l (lowercase L) in order to put the AP into receive mode.
The file transfer protocol appears, and characters scroll across the line as the unit waits for data to flow to it.
2.
In Microsoft Windows HyperTerminal, choose Transfer > Send.
3.
Choose an appropriate file transfer protocol.
4.
Browse to the location of the AP1200-Cisco-IOS-Upgrade-Image-v3.img file on the hard drive.
5.
Select the AP1200-Cisco-IOS-Upgrade-Image-v3.img file and click Send.
When the file transfer is complete, the bootloader menu appears again. A file list also appears, which shows that the files that are compressed inside of the AP1200-Cisco-IOS-Upgrade-Image-v3.img file are now located in DRAM in the AP.
5.
Transfer the files to Flash with the copy process.
Note: The files must be in Flash memory.
Complete these steps:
1.
Press c in order to copy.
2.
Press 3 in order to choose the Flash memory as the destination.
3.
Choose the appropriate option for each of the files that are listed in DRAM.
4.
Repeat Steps 5a through 5c (the c ... 3 ... file option cycle) for each of the files that are in DRAM.
Each time that you repeat the cycle, the bootloader menu and file list appear and show the progress of file copies from DRAM into Flash memory.
6.
Power cycle the AP.
The upgrade proceeds as expected. During a successful upgrade, you see output that is similar to this:
flashfs[0]: Checking block 25...bad block number (-1)
flashfs[0]: erasing block 25...done.
flashfs[0]: Checking block 26...bad block number (-1)
flashfs[0]: erasing block 26...done.
flashfs[0]: Checking block 27...bad block number (-1)
flashfs[0]: erasing block 27...done.
7.
After the upgrade finishes successfully, reinstall the RM20A as needed.

CatOS to IOS?

We acquire a few WS-C2948G-GE-TX and WS-C2948. Seems like they have
CatOS. Is it possible to change them to the more common typical IOS?
If so, what's the cost associated with the upgrade and any implications
from an upgrade?

Not possible on these boxes , these are straight catos boxes and cannot be modified. For layer 2 switches I always found catos a lot easier and faster to use than IOS anyway once you get used to using "set" commands.
