Did you receive some kind of message indicating that space needed to be made? The usual process is to copy the new firmware to the inactive image. Once the inactive image is up to date, you then activate the updated image. The firmware download includes a PDF that takes you step by step on how to update the firmware.
Hi, I am trying to make space on the flash for the new firmware. This is the output of the "dir" command: Directory of flash: File Name Permission Flash Size Data Size Modified------------------- ---------- ---------- --------- -----------------------aaafile.prv -- 65520 -- 01-Oct-2006 16:51:21dhcpsn.prv -- 131040 -- 01-Oct-2006 16:50:56directry.prv -- 65520 -- 01-Oct-2006 16:50:56image-1 rw 6684672 6684672 01-Oct-2006 16:50:56image-2 rw 6684672 6684672 01-Oct-2006 16:50:56sshkeys.prv -- 65520 -- 01-Oct-2006 16:51:01startup-config rw 524160 2610 19-Dec-2016 17:57:02syslog1.sys r- 131072 -- 20-Dec-2016 10:42:48syslog2.sys r- 131072 -- 20-Dec-2016 10:42:48 Total size of flash: 16121856 bytesFree size of flash: 1638608 bytes There's only ~1.6 Mb space left. So I tried to delete the file "image-2" (because "show bootvar" indicated that it's not the active image): delete flash:image-2 Delete flash://image-2 [y/n]? yDelete operation is not permitted on file flash://image-2 Please advise, where do I go from here? Thank you!
