When you have identified where the image is located, follow the instructions in one ofthese two sections:
•
If you are using boot loader release c6msfc-boot-mz.120-7.XE1 or later, go to the section “Loading
the Catalyst IOS Image.”
•
If you are using boot loader release c6msfc-boot-mz.120-7.XE, go to the section “Loading the
Catalyst OS Image.”
Come back to this point after you have loaded either the Cat IOS or the Cat OS image.
The RP is at the boot prompt, and you are ready to bring up the switch running Cat IOS. Ensure that you
have the config-register set to 0x2 before you reboot. You also may want to check that the right boot
variables are set correctly. If they are not, change them to reflect the right image names. See the
following example:
boot system flash sup-bootflash:c6sup-jsdbg-mz.120-7T.XE1.2.02.bin
boot bootldr bootflash:c6msfc-bootdbg-mz
