How To Upgrade IOS on Cisco Switch

This video will show you how to upgrade IOS on Cisco Switch. Recently I bought a Cisco 3750 switch from ebay for my lab. It came with the c3750-ipservicesk9-mz.122-50.SE4 image. Since I wanted to use this as one of my router, i wanted to upgrade it to c3750-advipservicesk9-mz.122-46.SE image. Before I delete the existing image, it is always a good idea to back up that image. I have done this first in this video before load the new image.
I covered stack configuration in detail in my below videos:

Let me know how if you have any questions regarding stack configuration. If I don't know the answer, i have a lab in my house and I will experiment it and get back to you ASAP. Also let me know how you like the background music. Is it distracting you ? I like to hear from you all. Thank you in advance for your comments..

Great video, we'd like to upgrade one older switch image with a newer one, can this also be done via USB ? by copying the image of the new one then loading onto the older one?

[@networktutor640]

yes. you can. if you have space for both image you don't have to delete the old image. After copying the new image, just change the boot path.

Good Job! Thanks!

[@networktutor640]

Welcome!

How do you do this process and restore the previous configurations after the new image is uploaded from a back up.

[@muhammad1999]

Really useful

Glad it helped

FYI if you run into an issue where you can ping the switch from PC but not PC from switch turn off windows firewall and it should resolve the issue

[@networktutor640]

Good point

[@OmarMa-ur8jt]

Thank you for your video.
I did what you did, but I can't ping from the switch to my device, nor can I ping from my device to the switch.
At the same time, I also closed the firewall.
Any suggestions for me?
Thank you again!

[@networktutor640]

eventhoug sometime ping doesn't work, tftp works. did you try uploding the image?

[@OmarMa-ur8jt]

Could you assist me in updating my Cisco 3750X PoE switch?

[@networktutor640]

Sorry. Just noticed your question. Did you get your switch upgraded?

[@MrFantastic3K]

Can I just use a flash drive instead of TFTP folder you used?

[@networktutor640]

latest cisco switches has usb slots and you can use flash drive for sure

[@liaqatsultani961]

how can we download IOS image to upgrade crashed IOS?

[@networktutor640]

normally you need to have a Cisco account, especially a vendor registered account to download latest versions of OS.
