Reduced likelihood of random reloads or software crashes. 5. Upgrade Procedure (Step-by-Step)
"Switch boots into ROMmon after upgrade" Cause: The boot variable still points to the old file, or the new image is corrupted. Solution: At switch: prompt, run set BOOT=flash:c3560e-universalk9-mz.152-4.e10.bin then boot .
: Specifies a "universal" image that contains all features. Access to specific feature sets (like IP Base or IP Services) is determined by the hardware license level. The "k9" designation confirms support for strong cryptographic features like SSH, SSL, and IPSec.
