However, there is a hidden IOS-like cli available, that makes it possible to upgrade the boot code over tftp. An additional benefit is that it is much faster than using xmodem. Setup a tftp server on your machine, serving the files srw202416boot-101.rfb and ls20xx-12230.ros (download from Cisco).

Cisco Switches :: Linksys SRW2016 Switch Serial Console Not Working
Jan 5, 2011I have had the switch for about 2 years and recently moved. The manual specifies:
38400 bps and 8-n-1 serial port settings using DB9F to DB9F cable.
I have done this and tried using multiple machines/ports/cables as well as several peices of software (minicom, PuTTy, hyperterminal) and none give me any output from the switch at all.
The trouble is that in its original config, it had 1 port locked into its own VLAN for management with port security and an obscure RFC1918 IP address which I cannot recall for the life of me.
At this point, I have no access to TCP/IP management so serial console is my last hope and is not working.

Cisco Switches :: SG300 Firmware Upgrade - How To Reload 1.0.0.27 Using CLI
Jul 27, 2011I've been having a problem with a brand new SG300-10 switch that I posted about yesterday. I checked the firmware and it was at 1.0.0.27 and the lastest is 1.1.0.73. So I backed up the current firmware and loaded the 1.1.0.73 version and it seem to be CLI based only, with no web GUI.
If so is there an easy way to reload the 1.0.0.27 using the CLI? There is nothing in the CLI docs that I can see unless it's buried.
The release notes for 1.1.0.73 don't say it's CLI only either, maybe something just went wrong but the CLI seems to be functional.

Cisco Switches :: Sge2010p Software Upgrade Switch Always Boots
Aug 6, 2011I have just downloaded new software for sge2010p. I had tried to made an upgrade on some switches, but switches still boot with the old software.I have installed software 3.0.0.18 and boot 2.0.0.03. I have downloaded software 3.0.1 from cisco, put it on tftp and started an upgrade via switch web interface. I have checked that the active image is set to 1, and started the upgrade.Switch has downloaded soft from tftp, and reported that process has been finished without errors.After the restart switch have 3.0.0.18 software again. I have try to do this same on 4 different switches working in L3 and L2 mode - always with the same effect.Should I upgrade both images in the same time to get this work?
I have noticed, that the new firmware is located on image 2.

Cisco Switches :: SGE2010 - Firmware Upgrade And Configuration Not Saving?
Oct 7, 2012Using the SGE 2010 for Microsoft NAP with 802.1x auth for switch access, which led to a few issues
What i have: An SGE 2010 48 port switch, firmware 3.0.0.17 Firmware upgrade: In order to ensure im not having problems due to old firmware, i tried to upgrade using ros_ls1_bp_ge_bx-3020.ros in order to move to 3.0.2, when uploading the file via TFTP, the upload completes and thats it, nothing happens.Restarting the device: As part of the upgrade process, i thought i might of had to reboot, so i rebooted, and found that all my settings were wiped clean, as if a factory reset had been performed.... and add further to pain, the backup of settings that i had taken do not seem to want to re-apply.NAP support: So i have tested my NPS (radius) server with NTRadping.exe and all is good, however i cannot get the SGE2010 to talk to it.... the authenticator state in the web interface is always listed as initialising.... im not sure if this is a simple incompatibility (hence the attempt at a firmware upgrade), a tag that needs to be set on the radius side or a switch misconfig.
1) how on earth do you upgrade the firmware?
2) why are none of my settings being saved when the device reboots ?

It can be quite useful to be able to load an IOS image through a serial connection, particularly if you don’t have access to a TFTP server, or if the router doesn’t have any accessible LAN interfaces. Although this feature is rarely used, Cisco does support xmodem and ymodem file transfers through a serial connection.
We also recommend enabling the CRC checksum feature when you use xmodem to download an IOS image through a serial connection. This will help ensure the integrity of the file transfer.
We should stress that this process can be extremely slow. Don’t even attempt to download an IOS image at the default speed of 9,600 bps unless you have an entire day to kill. We highly recommend increasing the speed to the highest value that your terminal emulation package will support. We have found that 115,200 bps provides the maximum throughput with the most reliability. The speed command allows you to change the speed of an asynchronous serial port:
In this example, we used Hyperterminal because it is included with the Windows operating system. However, almost any terminal emulation program that supports xmodem or ymodem protocols will work. In fact, we have found significant differences in download times between the various emulation packages, and Hyperterminal tends to be one of the slowest. Other packages such as ProComm tend to be somewhat faster. But they all work.
Even after we increased the speed of the Aux port to 115,200 bps, the file transfer took nearly 25 minutes to complete. By comparison, loading the same IOS version via TFTP through an Ethernet connection took less than four minutes. So, in general, we don’t recommend using this method unless you can’t use TFTP for some reason.
The first step, once you have a copy of the IOS image on your computer, is to connect to the router’s AUX port. Set the line speed to 115,200 bps on both the console port and the terminal emulator, and issue the copy command. The router will prompt you to begin the file transfer with the text “Ready to receive file.”
At this point, you should begin your file transfer protocol. If you are using Hyperterminal, select the “Transfer” drop-down menu, and then click on “Send-file.” It will prompt you for the file name and location, and protocol type. Enter the name of the IOS image, and then select “Xmodem” to start the file transfer.
During the file transfer, the connection is busy transferring the file, so the router can’t display any messages. This is normal. However, most terminal emulator programs provide a status window to let you keep track of the file transfer.
When the transfer is complete, the terminal emulator will drop out of the file transfer mode and the router will put up its normal prompt again. At this point, we highly recommend checking the new IOS image to make sure that it copied successfully. You can verify the file size as follows:
In this case, we loaded the image into the PCMCIA device in slot 1. If you put the image somewhere else, such as the internal flash memory, you would use the command show flash: instead.
If the file size is correct, check the image’s checksum by using the verify command:
