Chapter 4 Viewing and Updating the Software Image

Viewing the Software Image Version

Viewing the Software Image Version with the CLI

Use the CLI to view software versions on the chassis as follows:

Step 1 To view the primary software image version for all cards in the chassis, use the show card-inventorycommand, as shown in the following example:

SFS-3012R#show card-inventory

Interpret the display as follows:

a.Look for the primary-image-sourcefield for each slot. The slots are identified in Figure 1-3 on page 1-4.

b.Determine whether or not any slot has a software image version (primary-image-source) that is older then the others. This slot will need its image updated.

c.Compare your most recent image with the most recent image available. Check the Cisco.com site or your ftp site for details about image availability. Consider updating to the newer image, if available.

d.If you need to download a new image, note the amount of memory and disk space available. Check also the file size of the new image that you will download from the Cisco.com website or from the ftp site and determine whether or not you need to create space.

e.Examine the files listed in the image field of the display. Any file listed in the image field that is neither the last-image-source nor the primary-image-source is a candidate for deletion.

 

 

 

Step 2

Use the dir image command to view all existing boot images on the chassis, and determine whether or

 

 

 

 

not they are currently installed, as shown in the following example:

 

 

 

 

SFS-3012R> enable

 

 

 

 

SFS-3012R# dir image
