Hello
We have over 500 switches which need an IOS upgrade and doing this one by one is going to take an age.
Is there any way we could use NCM to automate the upgrade?
Cheers
Assuming that all the switches are the same model and are receiving the same image (or you know which switches are involved so that you can select only the target switches),and you know that the flash is large enough to fit the new image (or you can safely erase everything that currently exists in the flash) you could probably do this using a script. Something along the lines of:
copy tftp: flash:
<lines for each of the inputs expected by the above command, which includes clearing the flash>
config t
no boot system
boot system <image path>
exit
wr
reload
This is an example... Don't just copy and assume it will work as you intend! I'd strongly advise finding a spare switch and testing it away from the production switches first to see what happens.
Hi,
Adding some (hopefully) helpful stuff:
