Hi, Im trying to upgrade the IOS version of a 3560 series switch and want to know how to back up (just to be safe if the ios upgrade fails) and delete the old IOS image files to make space for the new image. Assuming the below
>dir flash:
Directory of flash:/
2 -rwx 736 Feb 28 1993 18:04:32 -06:00 vlan.dat
3 -rwx 10473517 Sep 16 2010 00:43:30 -05:00 c3560-advipservicesk9-mz.1
4 -rwx 22799 Feb 28 1993 18:09:22 -06:00 D2ILOAC04.cfg
6 -rwx 12752928 Apr 4 2013 15:52:00 -05:00 c3560-ipservicesk9-mz.122-
7 -rwx 3840 Jan 25 2017 01:07:35 -06:00 private-config.text
8 -rwx 4120 Jan 25 2017 01:07:36 -06:00 multiple-fs
9 -rwx 22060 Jan 25 2017 01:07:35 -06:00 config.text
im using the below commands for upgrade. and my question is, can the delete the "drwx" with the commands below??
