Upgrading the Switch License
You can upgrade Cisco IOS software features through the Cisco Software Activation tool. It authorizes
and enables the feature set on Cisco IE 2000 switch series. Based on the type of license, it allows you to
enable certain features through the licensing upgrade or both licensing and software upgrade. On Cisco
IE 2000 switches, to upgrade from LAN Lite to LAN Base you do not require new software releases.
However, to upgrade from LAN Base to Enhanced LAN Base for NAT, you require both software and
license upgrades. See Software Activation Licensing Upgrade for detailed steps:

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 also can use the dir filesystem:privileged EXEC command to see the directory names of other
software images that you might have stored in flash memory.

Upgrading the Switch Software
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 Express Setup.
You must use the combined tar file to upgrade the switch through Express Setup. To upgrade the switch
through the CLI, use the tar file and the archive download-sw privileged EXEC command.
Archiving Software Images
Before upgrading your switch software, make sure that you have archived copies of the current Cisco
IOS release and the Cisco IOS release to which you are upgrading. You should keep these archived
images until you have upgraded all devices in the network to the new Cisco IOS image and until you
have 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 more
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. For more
information about the tftp-server command, see the Cisco IOS Configuration Fundamentals Command
Reference:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/fundamentals/command/reference/cf_t1.html
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 inserted into the switch before downloading the software.
To download software, follow these steps:
Step 1 Use Table 3 on page 8 to identify the file that you want to download.

Step 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://www.cisco.com/cisco/web/download/index.html
To download the image for a Cisco IE 2000 switch, click Switches > Industrial Ethernet Switches >
Cisco IE 2000 Series Switches,and then click on the Cisco IOS software for your specific switch
model.
Step 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 Appendix B of the software configuration guide for this release.
Step 4 Log into the switch through the console port or a Telnet session.
Step 5 (Optional) Check that you have IP connectivity to the TFTP server by entering this privileged EXEC
command:
Switch# ping tftp-server-address
For more information about assigning an IP address and default gateway to the switch, see the software
configuration guide for this release.
Step 6 Download the image file from the TFTP server to the switch. If you are installing the same version of
software that is currently on the switch, overwrite the current image by entering this privileged EXEC
command:
Switch# archive download-sw /overwrite /reload tftp:[[//location]/directory]/
image-name.tar
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:
Switch# archive download-sw /overwrite tftp://198.30.20.19/image-name.tar
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.
Recovering from a Software Failure
For additional recovery procedures, see the “Troubleshooting” chapter in the software configuration
guide for this release.
Installation Notes
You can assign IP information to your switch by using these methods:
•Express Setup program, as described in the switch getting started guide.

•Manual assignment of an IP address, as described in the switch software configuration guide.
Software Features
Digital Optical Monitoring
Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM) is supported when using a DOM-capable SFP transceiver module.
For information about the switch models that have SFP or dual-purpose ports, see Switch Models
Supported, page 3. For information about DOM-capable SFP modules, see SFP Modules Supported,
page 5.
Note DOM is not supported on downlink SFP ports.
DOM allows monitoring real-time parameters of the switch, such as optical input and output power,
temperature, laser bias current, and transceiver supply voltage. These parameters are monitored against
the threshold values. The real-time DOM parameters can be monitored using command line interface or
SNMP interface.
DOM is possible only with DOM-capable transceiver modules. When using an SFP module in a dual
purpose port, DOM is supported if the interface media type is configured to SFP or if global transceiver
monitoring is enabled.
Transceiver monitoring is enabled by default.
Precision Time Protocol (PTP)
Several enhancements were made to improve the implementation of Precision time Protocol (PTP).
•End-to-End Transparent Clock (E2E TC) now supports at least 300 PTP messages per second. The
previous capacity was 10 - 20 PTP messages per second. The E2E TC timing performance also was
enhanced to frequency lock to the GMC, thereby reducing timing errors.
•With the recommended settings, the Boundary Clock now supports eight clocks in a chain
(previously became unstable with four clocks). The timing performance also was enhanced to
improve stability and precision. Cisco recommends setting the logDelReqInterval to -2 (-2 to 6
supported) and the logSyncInterval to -1 (-1 to 1 supported) for chains of Boundary Clocks. The PTP
Clock must receive 50 Sync messages and 6 DelReq messages for a port to leave the
UNCALIBRATED state.
•Added support for PTP management messages, such as example: CLOCK_DESCRIPTION, as
defined in Clause 15 of IEEE Std 1588-2008. These management messages are mandatory for CIP/
ODVA compliance.
