Cisco Switching/Routing :: Upgrading License On 24P 3750X
Jan 16, 2013
Am attempting to load a new license on a 24 Port 3750X. Was LANBase code, need to get it to IPBase. Have the license file. Have put it on the flash drive. Running "license install flash:" i get the message "%Error reading flash: (is a directory)%Error: License installation failed with error: XML parsing failed"The license installation instructions are a bit cryptic so I could be messing it up. However, every variation I can think of is not working. The command listed above gets the most "promising" results.

I had a strange problem here after upgrading Cisco 3750X.The upgrading was going smoothly, I copied a newer IOS to the flash from another Cisco 3750X through TFTP, changed the boot image.It took a while do to the microcode upgrading, finally, it started to boot up. But when it completes the boot up, I can't see the normal login prompt, but only some strange codes. From what I can see, it seems some decoding problem, as if I plug or unplug a cable from the switch, the strange code pops up again, like in normal situation, the console tells you that the interface is going up and down.
The original image of the switch: c3750e-universalk9-mz.122-53.SE2.bin
Upgrade to image: c3750e-universalk9-mz.122-55.SE3.bin
However, I don't have any problem to telnet to this switch, as it has correct IP address and login configured before the upgrading. I have reboot the switch for couple of times, reconnect to the serial port still doesn't show me anything.I am wonering has any one has met this situation before? detailed message shown after the boot up. cisco WS-C3750X-48 (PowerPC405) processor (revision A0) with 262144K bytes of memory.
Processor board ID FDO1449Z04L
Last reset from power-on

We have just received a new 3750X-12S-S to put onto our existing network but I am having a few issues getting this switch working correctly. For this post, the permenant license is not activating/applying, switch boot up gives the following errors:
*Mar 1 00:00:05.377: Read env variable - LICENSE_BOOT_LEVEL =
*Mar 1 00:00:05.972: %IOS_LICENSE_IMAGE_APPLICATION-3-FAILED: Image application receive image level as NULL.
[Code]....
From my understanding these switches come with the ipbase license as default, and the other switch I received (3750X-24P-S) has this license loaded with no issues.

I've got a mixed stack as follows:
Switch 1 - 3750X-24P
Switch 2 - 3750G-24TS
Switch 3 - 3750G-24T
Running 12.2(53)SE2, IP base. Now I tried upgrading the firmware on the entire stack to 12.2(55)SE4 and ran into this error:(Command: archive download-sw /imageonly /overwrite /allow-feature-upgrade tftp://10.20.20.13/c3750e-universalk9-tar.122-55.SE4.tar)
Error: The image in the archive which would to used to upgade system number 2 does not support that system type.I haven't as yet removed the "3750G-24TS" switch from the stack and re-tried as yet, however, is the expectation that without the 24TS, the upgrade should work?

I recently added a 3750X-24P-L into a stack of 3750V2 switches. I did so by getting the temporary upgrade license from LAN Base to IP Services; I added the switch no problem. I now have the permanent license and I was wondering if I could install the permanent license without having to remove the switch from the stack. I tried a license install but that failed. The switch is not currently the master but I figured I might promote it and then try the install.

One of our clients has recently purchased upgrade licenses for their cisco asa as follows
L-ASA5505-10-50=
and
L-ASA5505-SEC-PL=
after retrieving the activation key from the cisco website we tried entering the activation key to the asa both via ASDM and telnet when entering the command on telnet the shell becomes unresponsive when entering the command on ASDM we receive a "success" message followed by a request to restart ASDM and save the configuration after a minute or so i get an error screen saying "write mem" the asdm restarts and nothing changes.

This is the situation I got to firewalls with failover and I need to upgrade the license so I can get more context (right now I have 5 context and I need 10) so I was looking at the procedure and I'm not sure If I need to restart the device or not. I was looking at this procedure:
Upgrading the License for a Failover using ASDM (No Reload Required) Use the following procedure using ASDM if your new license does not require you to reload. This procedure ensures that there is no downtime.
•1. On the active unit, choose Configuration > Device Management > High Availability > Failover > Setup, and uncheck the Enable Failover check box. Now click Apply. The standby unit remains in a pseudo-standby state. Deactivating failover on the active unit prevents the standby unit from attempting to become active during the period when the licenses do not match. •
2. Choose Configuration > Device Management > Licensing > Activation Key, and enter the new activation key that you obtained with the active unit serial number. Now click Update Activation Key.•
3. Log into the standby unit by double-clicking its address in the Device List. If the device is not in the Device List, click Add to add the device. You might be prompted for credentials to log in.
4. Choose Configuration > Device Management > Licensing > Activation Key, and enter the new activation key that you obtained with the standby unit serial number. Now click Update Activation Key.
5. Log into the active unit again by double-clicking its address in the Device List. Choose Configuration > Device Management > High Availability > Failover > Setup, and re-check the Enable Failover check box.
6. Click Apply. This completes the procedure.link: [URL]
But then I checked on the cisco web page that there are some license that need to reload I see this:
All models
#Downgrading any license (for example, going from 10 contexts to 2 contexts).#Note If a temporary license expires, and the permanent license is a downgrade, then you do not need to immediately reload the security appliance; the next time you reload, the permanent license is restored.
[URL]
So I just want to know if I'm UPGRADING from 5 to 10 context the reload applies to my situation or not?

I need to upgrade a pair of ACE30s to 8Gbps.According to the administration guide, there will be no impact.BUT, it states also:
All license installations except one have no adverse impact to an operating ACE. [URL] Ofcourse, nothing is said about which one has impact.I assume it's the 16Gbps license but how to confirm this?

I have a Catalyst 3750X and 3750G configured in a stack. I need to break up the stack for failover reasons. My question is how do you determine what license's is on each of the switches. From the below print out. I assume the 3750X has the ip base license and the 3750G has the ipservices license. Is there a command that clearly shows which license's is installed on each switch in the stack? [code]

The have around 80 staff and I think the current infrastructure is overkill for the size of the company. The current kit is old and they have no GB ethernet ports. They currently have:-
Core Switch:
1x Cisco c6509with a 48 port fast ethernet module (WS-X6248-RJ-45)
and an 8 port fibre module (WS-X6408A-GBIC)
I'm looking to replace this with something with 72 ethernet ports and 8 fibre ports
Access Switches:
2x 3500Replacement needs at least 48 ports and 2 fibre modules each
and 2x 5500Replacement needs at least 72 ports and 2 fibre modules each.

This is what I know so far.4 Closets, each closet has 450 ports,One MDF room that is will contain one UCS Chassis and a Nimble iSCSI SAN.
I am working on the spreadsheet and it looks like this (Not totally filled):

we have two core swiches 6506 and around 55 cat 3550 switches. currently we are on the process of replacing the cat 3550 switches to 3750 switches.We need 10/1000/1000 speed, ip base image with upgrade options. Our up links from cat 3550s(sfps) are single mode and dual mode fiber mode with 1 gbps ports on core switch.
At present we are not upgrading to 10 gb modules on core. Spread over 15 floors each floor needs 2 up links(single mode , and dual mode). since cat 3750 sfps are smaller in size existing gibics cannot be used. Looking for the best option of cat 3750 switches with 1 gb up links which can be upgraded to 10 gb later when we replace the modle on core. Requirements:
1- Cat 3750 switches 55 in no with sfps for 1 gb up link (dual mode fiber and single mode fiber)
2- stacking option
3- 10/100/1000 speed
4- ip base image upgradable to ip service image
5- ipv6 compatibaility. Network is spread over 15 floors so from each floor we need two sfp up links 1 gbps using dual mode and single mode
-6-Should be upgradable to 10 gb in future when we upgrade the core modules
Or is it better to go for 10 gb module in core as well as edge switches ? if so what should be the modules?

I am upgrading a Cisco 6506E VSS from 12.2(33)SXI5 to 12.2(33)SXJ5 during a maintenance window. So I have plenty of time to reboot the VSS. Confirm below is the correct procedure. I have manually copied the new IOS to both active and standby Sup720s.
no boot system
boot system flash sup-bootdisk:NEW_IOS.bin
boot system flash sup-bootdisk:OLD_IOS.bin
!
copy run start
reload
I was going through the below cisco document and there are a few more steps as below: Is it necessary?

I am looking at upgrading my 6503-E switch. While I get the chance, I would like all aspects upgraded as I finally have some "downtime". I am running a Sup 720-3B.From what I understand, the boot image is a recovery image (mini IOS) - should the main IOS fail.Where should this be installed, sup-bootflash:/ or bootflash:/ ?,The file is “s72033-boot-mz.122-33.SXI11.bin.”The Boot Loader. My understanding is that Bootloaders are not used in these Sups with a MSFC3? I am not sure why TBH .. but would this be the case ?Rommon can be upgraded. I don’t quite understand if there are two ROMs (SP and RP).

I just need a little refreshing on upgrading a stack of 3750's. This stack only has 2 switches: [code]
1.) If I remember correctly I simply tftp the IOS to the flash of each switch and then reload the master only?
2.) Can I safely assume these are the 2 flash locations:

I have a 4510R-E chassis which currently has a single supervisor 5 installed.
We are now looking at upgrading the supervisor to a Sup6. Now the question is this, can I install the Sup6 into the redundant cpu slot and then perform a failover to get the new switch working without any noticable downtime.
I'm not sure what having a Sup V and a Sup 6 in at the same time will do to the backplane.
Otherwise I have to take the switch down and then install the card and software manually.

I have downloaded c3750-ipservicesk9-mz.150-1.SE2.bin and I want to upgrade iOS to this image.
I have a few questions related to this:
1. Is my switch model compatible with this iOS version?
2. Do you recommend the upgrade? Does it bring some notable features?
3. Can I upgrade for free or do I need to buy some license?
4. I also want to upgrade/add the crypto image, can I add crypto for free or some license is required?
5. I have remote access to my switch via the console cable which plugged into machine1. But machine1 is connected to network via the same switch. I am accessing machine1 via SSH, and then the switch via console cable (minicom on CentOS). Is there an upgrade procedure for this kind of situation that also has some fall back (like reboot in X minutes and load the previous image) if the upgrade goes wrong?

I have a stack of 2 x 3750X switches these are running 12.2(55)SE5. I needed to add some static IP routes and found that the ‘ip routing’ command is not supported. I came across a document that stated “On switches running the LAN base feature, static routing on VLANs is supported only with Cisco IOS Release 12.2(58)SE and later.” So I have upgraded to 12.2(58)SE2, but ‘ip routing’ is still not a valid command.
The release notes state:“On the Cisco Catalyst 3560-X and 3750-X Series, it adds support for 16 static IPv4 routes in the LAN Base image.”
I have read other posts that talk about running the ‘sdm prefer routing’ command which I have done, but I am still unable to add any routes or run the ‘ip routing’ command.
