Express Setup Requirements

Hardware

■1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor

■1 gigabyte (GB) RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit)

■16 GB available hard disk space (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)

Software

■PC with Windows 7, or Mac OS 10.6.x

■Web browser (Internet Explorer 9.0, 10.0, and 11.0, or Firefox 32) with JavaScript enabled

■Straight-through or crossover Category 5 or 6 cable

Express Setup verifies the browser version when starting a session, and it does not require a plug-in.

Finding the Software Version and Feature Set

The Cisco IOS image is stored as a bin file in a directory that is named with the Cisco IOS release. A subdirectory contains the files needed for web management. The image is stored on the compact flash memory card.

You can use the show version privileged EXEC command to see the software version that is running on your switch. The second line of the display shows the version.

You can also use the dir filesystem : privileged EXEC command to see the directory names of other software images stored in flash memory. For example, use the dir flash: command to display the images in the flash memory.

Deciding Which Files to Use

The upgrade procedures in these release notes describe how to perform the upgrade by using a combined tar file. This file contains the Cisco IOS image file and the files needed for the embedded device manager. You must use the combined tar file to upgrade the switch through Express Setup. To upgrade the switch through the command-line interface (CLI), use the tar file and the archive download-sw privileged EXEC command.

Cisco IOS Software Image Files lists the filenames for this software release.

Note: If you download the IP services image and plan to use Layer 3 functionality, you must use the Switch Database Management (SDM) routing template. To determine the currently active template, enter the show sdm prefer privileged EXEC command. If necessary, enter the sdm prefer global configuration command to change the SDM template to a specific template. For example, if the switch uses Layer 3 routing, change the SDM template from the default to the routing template. You must reload the switch for the new template to take effect.

Archiving Software Images

Before upgrading your switch software, make sure that you archive copies of both your current Cisco IOS release and the Cisco IOS release to which you are upgrading. Keep these archived images until you have upgraded all devices in the network to the new Cisco IOS image and verified that the new Cisco IOS image works properly in your network.

Cisco routinely removes old Cisco IOS versions from Cisco.com. See Product Bulletin 2863 for information:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/iosswrel/ps8802/ps6969/ps1835/prod_bulletin0900aecd80281c0e.html

You can copy the bin software image file on the flash memory to the appropriate TFTP directory on a host by using the copy flash: tftp: privileged EXEC command.

Note: Although you can copy any file on the flash memory to the TFTP server, it is time consuming to copy all of the HTML files in the tar file. We recommend that you download the tar file from Cisco.com and archive it on an internal host in your network.

You can also configure the switch as a TFTP server to copy files from one switch to another without using an external TFTP server by using the tftp-server global configuration command.

Upgrading a Switch by Using the CLI

This procedure is for copying the combined tar file to the switch. You copy the file to the switch from a TFTP server and extract the files. You can download an image file and replace or keep the current image.

Note: Make sure that the compact flash card is in the switch before downloading the software.

To download software, follow these steps:

1. Use Cisco IOS Software Image Files to identify the file that you want to download.

2. Download the software image file. If you have a SMARTNet support contract, go to this URL, and log in to download the appropriate files:

http://software.cisco.com/download/navigator.html

For example, to download the image for an IE 2000 switch, select Products > Switches > Industrial Ethernet Switches > Cisco Industrial Ethernet 2000 Series Switches, then select your switch model. Select IOS Software for Software Type, then select the image you want to download.

3. Copy the image to the appropriate TFTP directory on the workstation, and make sure that the TFTP server is properly configured.

For more information, see the “Assigning the Switch IP Address and Default Gateway” chapter in the applicable document listed in Methods for Assigning IP Information.

4. Log into the switch through the console port or a Telnet session.

5. (Optional) Ensure that you have IP connectivity to the TFTP server by entering this privileged EXEC command:

For more information about assigning an IP address and default gateway to the switch, see Methods for Assigning IP Information.

6. Download the image file from the TFTP server to the switch.

If you are installing the same version of software that currently exists on the switch, overwrite the current image by entering this privileged EXEC command:

–The /overwrite option overwrites the software image in flash memory with the downloaded one.

–The /reload option reloads the system after downloading the image unless the configuration has been changed and not saved.

–For // location, specify the IP address of the TFTP server.

–For / directory / image-name .tar, specify the directory (optional) and the image to download. Directory and image names are case sensitive.

This example shows how to download an image from a TFTP server at 198.30.20.19 and to overwrite the image on the switch:

You can also download the image file from the TFTP server to the switch and keep the current image by replacing the /overwrite option with the /leave-old-sw option.

Installation Notes

You can assign IP information to your switch using the methods shown in Methods for Assigning IP Information.

Open Caveats

■ CSCup53568

Symptom The system allows you to configure more than 16 routes, but they are not visible in the ip route table.

Conditions With the IE 2000 running the enhanced lanbase image and ip routing enabled, configure more than 16 routes. They are not visible in the ip route table or in show running-configuration. There is no error/warning message when you exceed the 16 route limit. Functionally, there is no impact.

Workaround There is a CLI error message when the maximum number of static routes is exceeded. To see this error message, set the following debugging CLI: debug ip routing static db. When too many routes are configured, you will see the following messages on the console:

■ CSCuq21005

Symptom In-line editing becomes unresponsive on the Device Manager Port Thresholds page. This issue was seen on the IE 3010 and CGS 2520.

Conditions Editing a field too quickly can cause in-line editing to become unresponsive.

Workaround Editing the box repeatedly works if the user waits one or two seconds for Device Manager to push the update to the device.

■ CSCuq72745

Symptom On the IE 3010, the GE port shows speed as 100Mbps when another GE port is connected.

Conditions This issue occurs when the user changes media between SFP and RJ45 on the same combination interface.

Workaround Issue a shut and no shut on the interface.

■ CSCur00491

Symptom Not able to configure the input alarm 3 and 4 in CGS 2520 and IE 3010 devices from the CLI (Relay, Notifies, and Syslog options).

Conditions Input alarms 3 and 4 appear to be enabled in show alarm settings output but the settings are not retained after reloading the device.

Workaround There is no workaround for this issue.

■ CSCur01466

Symptom On the IE 2000, sometimes a memory leak can be seen originating from psecure_vlan_info_find.

Conditions The leak is occasionally seen when a user tries to enable port-security with a duplicate MAC address and receives an error.

Workaround Reload the system.

■ CSCur24288

Symptom On the Cisco IE 2000 and IE 3000, the GetAttList time sync obj 0x43 Reply sequence is inconsistent with the request.

Conditions Get Attributes List was executed against the time sync object in the IE switches. The sequence was explicitly specified with attributes of variable size at the end in order to simplify parsing the reply. While the CIP specification does not explicitly require that the reply follow the sequence of the request, this is the typical (and therefore expected) behavior in released products so far observed.

The initial sequence attempted was

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 18, 19, 20, 27, 28, 12, 13

However the reply sequence received was

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 18, 19, 20, 27, 28

To verify this, a get attributes list with sequence was attempted

5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 18, 19, 20, 27, 28, 12, 13

However the reply sequence received was

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 18, 19, 20, 27, 28

Workaround There is no workaround for this issue.

■ CSCur62153

Symptom On the IE 2000, logging out of Device Manager in the IE browser terminates all tab sessions. The user must log in again to any web application sessions that were terminated.

Conditions This issue occurs only with the IE browser.

Workaround Use the Firefox browser.

■ CSCut85937

Symptom Poor clock synchronization with grandmaster on the IE 2000U.

Conditions This issue is seen during normal operation, when PTP is configured as power profile.

Workaround There is no workaround for this issue.
