There are plenty of guides for upgrading Cisco Small Business Managed Switches using the webGUI. Put down the browser and break out the COM9! We start with an antiquated version:
switch7acbdf#sh ver
SW version 1.1.2.0 ( date 12-Nov-2011 time 23:34:26 )
Boot version 1.1.0.6 ( date 11-May-2011 time 18:31:00 )
HW version V02
There is only one boot image on the switch, so copy from TFTP and overwrite it and reload:
switch7acbdf#copy tftp://10.2.3.1/sx300_boot-13506.rfb boot
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
12-Nov-2011 23:59:19 %COPY-I-FILECPY: Files Copy - source URL tftp://10.2.3.1/sx300_boot-13506.rfb destination URL flash://BOOT, aggregated (1)
12-Nov-2011 23:59:27 %COPY-N-TRAP: The copy operation was completed successfully
Copy: 393232 bytes copied in 00:00:08 [hh:mm:ss]
switch7acbdf#
switch7acbdf#reload
Now check that the Boot file has been upgraded (v1.3.5.06). At this stage you can still not upgrade to an image higher than v1.3.5.x , so lets upgrade that next:
switch7acbdf#sh ver
SW version 1.1.2.0 ( date 12-Nov-2011 time 23:34:26 )
Boot version 1.3.5.06 ( date 21-Jul-2013 time 15:12:10 )
HW version V02
switch7acbdf#
switch7acbdf#copy tftp://10.2.3.1/sx300_fw-13558.ros image
12-Nov-2011 23:40:07 %COPY-I-FILECPY: Files Copy - source URL tftp://10.2.3.1/sx300_fw-1476.ros destination URL flash://image, aggregated (2)
12-Nov-2011 23:40:29 %COPY-I-FILECPY: Files Copy - source URL tftp://10.2.3.1/sx300_fw-13558.ros destination URL flash://image
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
12-Nov-2011 23:42:44 %COPY-N-TRAP: The copy operation was completed successfully
Copy: 6976867 bytes copied in 00:02:15 [hh:mm:ss]
switch7acbdf#
Confirm that the new image (v1.3.5.58) has been written to the backup image (image-2) and boot it:
switch7acbdf#sh bootv
Image Filename Version Date Status
----- --------- --------- --------------------- -----------
1 image-1 1.1.2.0 12-Nov-2011 23:34:26 Active*
2 image-2 1.3.5.58 10-Oct-2013 17:15:41 Not active
"*" designates that the image was selected for the next boot
switch7acbdf#boot system image-2
switch7acbdf#reload
Once reloaded, we can upgrade to the latest image (v1.4.76):
switch7acbdf#copy tftp://10.2.3.1/sx300_fw-1476.ros image
10-Oct-2013 17:20:35 %LINK-I-Up: Vlan 400, aggregated (1)
10-Oct-2013 17:20:41 %COPY-I-FILECPY: Files Copy - source URL tftp://10.2.3.1/sx300_fw-1476.ros destination URL flash://image

switch7acbdf#
switch7acbdf#sh bootv
Image Filename Version Date Status
----- --------- --------- --------------------- -----------
1 image-1 1.3.5.58 10-Oct-2013 17:15:41 Active*
2 image-2 1.4.7.6 07-Dec-2016 18:37:03 Not active
"*" designates that the image was selected for the next boot
switch7acbdf#boot system image-2
switch7acbdf#reload
After the reload confirm that new version is running:
switch7acbdf#sh ver
SW version 1.4.7.6 ( date 07-Dec-2016 time 18:37:03 )
Boot version 1.3.5.06 ( date 21-Jul-2013 time 15:12:10 )
HW version V02
Job done.
