Previously in Cisco C93180 Switch Upgrade Guidelines in an article introduced to the BOOT command to upgrade the CISCO switch system software, the next Moduletek Limited Labs to take you to learn how to use the INSTALL command and how to upgrade the software on the switch.
        We will take CISCO Catalyst 9k series switches as an example to demonstrate the method of upgrading the system software version by INSTALL command:
I. Materials
        1. USB flash disk (USB2.0, FAT32). 2;

        1. Check the switch disk space, the size of available memory must be larger than the size of the software package to be installed;
        2. Insert a USB flash disk into the USB port of the switch and execute the command "dir usbflash0:" to view the files in the USB;
        Note: usbflash0 is the name of USB disk recognized by the switch, you can use "dir ?" to view. View.
        3. Upload the system files that need to be upgraded from USB flash disk to the flash memory of the switch, execute the command "copy usbflash0:filename flash:filename", and then execute the command "dir flash:" to view the files after the upload is completed;
        4. Boot the image that needs to be upgraded to IOS, execute the command "boot system flash:packages.conf " in global configuration mode, and use "show boot" to view the configuration.
