I'm thinking the survey may be outdated, but I was curious to see if there is a possibility that the 2900 Cat switch could have its image upgraded to the version/image above (3560). The switch from the pictures is a 24 port, and as you can see the output above says its a 48.
Is it possible to upgrade Cat 2900 to 3560 image?
What are the limitations when upgrading images on a cisco device? Ex: have to be same series, SW Version requirements 12.X(XX) or 15.X, License match?

2900 series is a layer 2 switch and 3560 is layer 3 switch
You can't even use image of 3550 on 3560.
Very different platforms.
You cannot do the same.
These are two different hardware platforms and it is just not possible to do the same.
I currently have a survey that shows there's a Cat 2900 cisco switch that is racked. My show verison:

Ergo your survey is incorrect since the device shows that it is a 3560-48Port device and not a Cisco 2900 switch
