How to install LegacyCLI-MOD

[Theo]

I am planning to install the LegacyCLI-MOD onto switches comfigured in a stack (2x X440, and 2x X450).

I have backed up the config on the primary/master switch to a tftp server. Is there any other backup methods suggested, other than backing up the .cfg file?

I have the quick reference guide that shows how to download the and install the .xmod via tftp. Is there another method?

Once installed, what should I do if I want to run Cisco commands by default?

Thanks in advance,
-Theo

I would suggest to boot all the switches in same partition and then try to install Xmod image.

I received an error when trying to install the image file.

The command syntax is as follows: "download image summitX-15.3.2.11-LegacyCLI.xmod vr "VR-Default" primary"

Error: Failed to install image on Slot-4 - version mismatch between XOS and xmod
Failed to install image on Slot-1 - version mismatch between XOS and xmod
Failed to install image on Slot-2 - version mismatch between XOS and xmod

So I ran the below show command and found that my primary and secondary partitions on each slot are different.

* Slot-3 Travis-MDF-440.6 # show version images
Card Partition Installation Date Version Name Branch
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Slot-1 primary Fri Aug 17 22:21:13 UTC 2012 15.2.1.5 summitX450-15.2.1.5.xos v1521b5
Slot-1 secondary Sat Nov 9 04:54:32 UTC 2013 15.3.2.11 summitX-15.3.2.11.xos v1532b11
Slot-2 primary Fri Aug 17 22:21:13 UTC 2012 15.2.1.5 summitX450-15.2.1.5.xos v1521b5
Slot-2 secondary Sat Nov 9 04:50:59 UTC 2013 15.3.2.11 summitX-15.3.2.11.xos v1532b11
Slot-3 primary Tue Nov 23 18:22:18 UTC 2010 12.5.1.6 summitX450-12.5.1.6.xos v1251b6
Slot-3 secondary Sat Nov 23 05:11:32 UTC 2013 15.3.2.11 summitX-15.3.2.11.xos v1532b11
Slot-4 primary Tue Nov 23 18:22:18 UTC 2010 12.5.1.6 summitX450-12.5.1.6.xos v1251b6
Slot-4 secondary Sat Nov 23 05:17:31 UTC 2013 15.3.2.11 summitX-15.3.2.11.xos v1532b11

Can I install this XMOD onto the secondary partition on slot-3? Will the XMOD still function properly?

[Theo]

Thank you, and I hadn't thought of that! Is it sitting in NVRAM?

I will be installing soon, and I appreciate all of your help.

Thanks,

If you execute the command install image and then "?" mark then you would see that what image had downloaded in the switch memory.

Hope this will help you.

I have downloaded the .xmod to the switch stack, but chose not to install it at this time because I want to install during non-business hours. I cannot locate the image file downloaded to the below location. I used the command, along with the and no such luck.

vr "VR-Default" primary
