Cisco 4506 ROMMON IOS upgrade(console)

Step 1 Directly connect a serial cable to the console port of the supervisor engine.

Step 2 Download the cat4500-e-ios-promupgrade-122_44r_SG9 program from Cisco.com, and place it on a TFTP server in a directory that is accessible from the switch to be upgraded

 

Step 3 Use the dir bootflash: command to ensure that sufficient space exists in Flash memory to store the PROM upgrade p_w_picpath. If you are using a CompactFlash card, replace bootflash: with slot0:

//使用dir bootflash命令去查看FLASH内存空间是否足够，如果使用的是闪存卡，则将命令中的bootflash替换成slot0

 

Step 4 Download the cat4500-e-ios-promupgrade-122_44r_SG9 program into Flash memory using the copy tftp command

//下载cat4500-e-ios-promupgrade-122_44r_SG9 文件，使用copy tftp命令拷贝到flash内存中

The following example shows how to download the PROM upgrade p_w_picpath cat4500-e-ios-promupgrade-122_44r_SG9 from the remote host 172.20.58.78 to bootflash:

Switch# copy tftp: bootflash:

Address or name of remote host [172.20.58.78]? 

Source filename [cat4500-e-ios-promupgrade-122_44r_SG9]? 

Destination filename [cat4500-e-ios-promupgrade-122_44r_SG9]? 

Accessing tftp://172.20.58.78/cat4500-e-ios-promupgrade-122_44r_SG9...

Loading cat4500-e-ios-promupgrade-122_44r_SG9 from 172.20.58.78 (via

Step 5 On a dual-supervisor system, copy the same ROMMON p_w_picpath to the standby supervisor engine with the copy bootflash:cat4500-e-ios-promupgrade-122_44r_SG9 slavebootflash command

//如果是双引擎系统，需要使用copy bootflash: cat4500-e-ios-promupgrade-122_44r_SG9 slavebootflash命令拷贝一个同样的镜像到备份引擎

 

Step 6 Enter the reload command to reset the switch, press Ctrl-C to stop the boot process, and re-enter ROMMON.

//输入reload命令重启交换机，在重启过程中按“Ctrl+C”去终止启动，进入ROMMON模式

 

Switch# reload
Proceed with reload? [confirm]

Step 7 Run the PROM upgrade program by entering this command:

//运行PROM更新键入以下命令

boot bootflash:cat4500-e-ios-promupgrade-122_44r_SG9

Step 8 Boot the Cisco IOS software p_w_picpath. This may happen automatically if the system is configured to auto-boot.

//引导思科IOS软件镜像，如果这个系统被配置成自动引导那么可能会自动发生

 

Step 9 On a redundant system, hook up a console to the now-active supervisor engine. After the system achieves an SSO state, repeat steps 6-8.

//在冗余的系统中，通过console连接到正在活动的引擎之后，这个系统会达到SSO状态，重复步骤6-8

 

Step 10 Use the show module command to verify that you have upgraded the ROMMON:

//使用sh module 命令去验证更新的ROMMON

Step 11 Use the delete command on the active supervisor to delete the PROM upgrade program from bootflash 

Switch# delete bootflash:cat4500-e-ios-promupgrade-122_44r_SG9

 

Step 12 On a redundant system, also delete the upgrade file from the standby supervisor engine: 

Switch# delete slavebootflash:cat4500-e-ios-promupgrade-122_44r_SG9
