Download als PDF FileHeute ein Software Upgrade eines Cisco Catalyst 3850 Stack gemacht. Im Stack enthalten:
- Switch 1) WS-C3850-12XS
- Switch 2) WS-C3850-12XS
- Switch 3) WS-C3850-24T.
Die Switch kamen Werkseitig geliefert mit 16.2.2, diese IOS wird bei Cisco als defered gelisted und sollte nicht mehr verwendet werden:
Kurzerhand auf cisco.com geschaut, welches die empfohlene Release für den WS-C3850-24T ist, diese wird mit 3.6.6E(MD) gelistet.
SPOILER ALERT: Das Problem an der Sache ist, dass die IOSXE 3.6.6E(MD) nicht von den WS-C3850-12XS unterstützt wird, man muss mindestens auf die 3.7.5E(ED) gehen.
Nach dem Upgrade des Stacks mittels des Befehls:
Switch#request platform software package clean switch all file flash:
befanden sich die WS-C3850-12XS in einem Bootloop:

Um den Bootloop zu unterbrechen und in den Rommon zu gelangen, muss den Mode Button beim Start relativ lange drücken:
Booting... Interface GE 0 link down***ERROR: PHY link is down The system has been interrupted prior to initializing some filesystems and loading the operating system software. Console will be reset to 9600 baud rate, need to change terminal setting first. The following commands will initialize the remaining filesystems, and finish loading the operating system software: flash_init boot switch: ? ? -- Present list of available commands arp -- Show arp table or arp-resolve an address boot -- Load and boot an executable image cat -- Concatenate (type) file(s) copy -- Copy a file delete -- Delete file(s) dir -- List files in directories emergency-install -- Initiate Disaster Recovery flash_init -- Initialize filesystem(s) format -- Format a filesystem fsck -- Check filesystem consistency help -- Present list of available commands mgmt_init -- initialize management port mkdir -- Create dir(s) more -- Concatenate (display) file(s) ping -- Send ICMP ECHO_REQUEST packets to a network host readrtc -- Read RTC rename -- Rename a file reset -- Reset the system rmdir -- Delete empty dir(s) set -- Set or display environment variables set_bs -- Set attributes on a boot sector filesystem set_param -- Set system parameters in flash type -- Concatenate (type) file(s) unset -- Unset one or more environment variables version -- Display boot loader version writertc -- Write RTC
Um die Software wiederherzustellen, kann man nun ein „emergency_install“ durchführen. Dazu das IOSXE Bin file auf einen FAT32 USB Stick kopieren und am Front USB Port des 3850 stecken. Danach flash mounten und das emergency_install ab USB durchführen.

Danke
Ich hatte das gleich Problem mit der Version 3.6.8E(MD).
Ob Cisco das auch schon aufgefallen ist?
