78-10598-02
About Application Notes
Step 10 At the prompt, enter the filename of the Cisco IOS Release 78-7045-08 image to be copied to the
Catalyst 8500 CSR, as shown in the following example:
Source file name? cat8540c-in-mz.120-10.W5.18c.bin
This example specifies the UNIX image name of the IP feature set for Catalyst 8500 CSR (as shown in
Table 5 in the “Feature Pack Overview Table” section on page 6).
Step 11 At the prompt, enter the destination UNIX image filename and press Enter.
This is the name of the image file on the Catalyst 8500 CSR—not the full pathname of the image on the
CD-ROM attached to the PC. Refer to Table 5 in the “Feature Pack Overview Table” section on page 6
for the UNIX image filename.
Destination file name [cat8540c-in-mz.120-10.W5.18c.bin]?
During the transfer process, the software displays messages indicating that it has accessed the file you
have specified and is loading it.
Step 12 At the prompt, enter yes if you want to erase the existing image copy resident in the
Catalyst 8500 CSR Flash memory before copying the new one.
Erase flash device before writing? [confirm] yes
The entire copying process takes several minutes and differs from network to network.
The exclamation point (!) indicates that the copy process is taking place. Each exclamation point (!)
indicates that ten packets have been transferred successfully. A checksum verification of the image
occurs after the image is written to Flash memory.
Step 13 Enter the reload command to reload the Catalyst 8500 CSR:
Router# reload
After the reload is complete, the Catalyst 8500 CSR should be running the required Cisco IOS image.
Use the show version command to verify it.
About Application Notes
We recommend that you read the following application notes before configuring your switch router:
• 8 Port Gigabit Ethernet Local Switching Line Card for the Catalyst 8540 CSR
• ACL Daughter Card for the Catalyst 8540
Minimum Flash Memory Requirement
The Catalyst 8500 CSR ships with an 16 MB systemcode Single In-Line Memory Module (SIMM) for
the onboard Flash memory software image.
To download and store a copy of the Catalyst 8500 CSR software image, we recommend using a
minimum 20 MB Flash PC Card. This will allow you to have two or more images installed at the same
time. See the “Memory Defaults and Upgrade Options” section on page 3.
