Cisco S3560 upgrade considerations

For upgrading the 3560 switch, I believe that all the students of PASSHOT are all well  but there is a small problem is that how to delete the original folder after upgrading?

For this question, I believe most people will say: In the case, to delete the file under the folder is not very easy to delete, you can only format FLASH before upgrading. Like this, the command is format basically . It is to FLASH all grid and then upload the I0S. Some people may ask why must format FLASH, or why delete the folder  ? The 3560 FLASH is too small that only 32M and the switch's own I0S may have more than 10 M. If you want to upgrade I0S, the original I0S can only be deleted first, the space can be left out, and then upgraded. The following example is like this, the space is only 32M but the 15.0 I0S has about 16M.

Address or name of remote host □? 10.1.1.1

Source filename []? c3560-ipservicesk9-mz.l50-l.SE3.bin

Destination filename [c3560-ipservicesk9-mz.l50-l.SE3.bin]?

Switch#

Everyone saw that after upgrading, the space is only about 7M. Of course, upgrading is a very simple matter but deleting a folder is not a simple matter. The command to delete a folder is as follows:

Switch#delete /recursive /force flash:/c3560-ipbasek9-mz,122-55.SE5 is to delete all the files under the folder.

This command is very practical but there are very few people who know it. You can pay attention on it. There are many such practical tips. In addition to being able to take you through CCIE written exams and CCIE LAB exams, PASSHOT can also teach you a lot of practical knowledge points at work! Learn IE and come to PASSHOT!
