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 Pr
oduct Bulletin 2863 for more
information:

You can copy the bin software image file on the flash memory to the appropriate TFTP dire
ctory on a
host by using the copy flash: tftp: privileged EXEC command.
Note Although you can copy any file on the flash memory to the TFTP server, it is time-consuming to copy
all of the HTML files in the tar file. We recommend that you download the tar file from Cisco.com and
archive it on an internal host in your network.
You can also configure the switch as a TFTP server to copy files from one switch to another without
using an external TFTP server by using the tftp-server global configuration command. For more
information about the tftp-server command, see the “Basic File Transfer Services Commands” section
of the Cisco IOS Configuration Fundamentals Command Reference, Release 12.2, at this URL:
