Installation Notes

Step 2 Start the TFTP server application on the PC by double-clicking the application icon or its .exe

filename.

Step 3 Set up the PC as a TFTP server by using the TFTP server application setup or configuration facility.

Most TFTP server applications include a setup facility that allows you to specify the PC as a server. For

example, from the TFTP menu of one application, select Settings to display a panel. To configure the

local PC as a server, select the Server checkbox.

Select a root directory where the Cisco IOS files reside (for example, d:\cpswinst\images).

Caution Make sure you set up your local PC as a TFTP server. If you do not, you cannot perform

the copy procedure. This caution applies to both TFTP and rcp.

Step 4 Establish a console session from your local PC (which is now configured as a TFTP server) to the

Catalyst 8500 CSR by using one of these methods:

• Connect the PC com port to the Catalyst 8500 CSR console port.

This is the recommended method. When you reload the Catalyst 8500 CSR with the new image in

Step 13, you remain connected to the Catalyst 8500 CSR.

• Establish a Telnet session from the PC to the Catalyst 8500 CSR. If you choose to use Telnet, your

connection to the Catalyst 8500 CSR will be lost when it is reloaded.

Caution Make sure that your PC is set up to communicate with the connected device through its

network port.

Step 5 Connect your PC’s LAN port to the corresponding LAN port on the Catalyst 8500 CSR. If you are

making a direct connection to the Catalyst 8500 CSR via Ethernet or Fast Ethernet, use an Ethernet

crossover cable. If connecting to the Catalyst 8500 CSR via an Ethernet or Fast Ethernet hub or Token

Ring MAU (hub), use straight-through cable.

Note We recommend that you back up the Catalyst 8500 CSR configuration before

upgrading the Catalyst 8500 CSR software.

Step 6 At the prompt, enter your password:

Password: <password>

Step 7 At the prompt, enter enable; then enter your password:

Router# enable

Password: <password>

Step 8 At the prompt, enter the following command to copy the new software image from the PC CD-ROM

drive to the Catalyst 8500 CSR:

Router# copy tftp flash

In the next series of steps, you download the Cisco IOS Release XX.X images that you want installed

on your Catalyst 8500 CSR.

Step 9 At the prompt, enter the IP address of your PC, as shown in the following example:

Address or name of remote host [255.255.255.255]? 131.108.1.1

This is the IP address of your local PC, not that of the Catalyst 8500 CSR.
