Release Notes for Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3120 for HP, Cisco IOS Release 12.2(40)EX1
OL-12250-01
Upgrading the Switch Software
Note Although the show version output always shows the software image running on the switch, the model
name shown at the end of this display is the factory configuration (IP base feature set or IP services
feature set) and does not change if you upgrade the software license.
You can also use the dir filesystem: privileged EXEC command to see the directory names of other
software images that you might have stored in flash memory.
Deciding Which Files to Use
The upgrade procedures in these release notes describe how to perform the upgrade by using a combined
tar file. This file contains the Cisco IOS image file and the files needed for the embedded device
manager. You must use the combined tar file to upgrade the switch through the device manager. To
upgrade the switch through the command-line interface (CLI), use the tar file and the archive
download-sw privileged EXEC command.
Table 4 lists the filenames for this software release.
Note To use the IPv6 routing and IPv6 ACL features on the Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3120 for HP, you
must purchase the advanced IP services software license from Cisco.
The universal software images support multiple feature sets. Use the software activation feature to
deploy a software license and to enable a specific feature set. For information about software activation,
see the Cisco Software Activation for HP document on Cisco.com:

Archiving Software Images
Before upgrading your switch software, make sure that you have archived copies of the current Cisco
IOS release and the Cisco IOS release from which you are upgrading. You should keep these archived
images until you have upgraded all devices in the network to the new Cisco IOS image and until you
have verified that the new Cisco IOS image works properly in your network.
Cisco routinely removes old Cisco IOS versions from Cisco.com. See Product Bulletin 2863 for more
information:
