Upgrade Cisco 3560X IOS Take 30+ Minutes

When working on IOS update for one standalone Cisco 3560x to meet our environment requirement, I was so surprising the total time for Cisco 3560x taking new IOS image, which was more than 30+ minutes. I was thinking to reset it during the process because it is way longer than other Cisco routers, switches and firewalls I updated before. Usually total IOS update takes less than 5 minutes from the beginning process of uploading ios to new ios fully loaded.

All steps and outputs from console for updating Csico 3560x are listing below:



1. Check Cisco End-of-Sale and End-of-Life Products list to make sure it is not in this list


2. Download latest suggested IOS from Cisco Support Site

Suggested version is 15.0.2-SE8(MD). But latest is 15.2.3E2(ED). 

There are two available versions - IP Base version and Universal version. By default, your device will get Universal version with IP Base license on your device. You can use license code to upgrade to IP Service.

3. Start your tftp server on your computer.

I am using an open source, fully functional, free TFTP server PumpKIN. Select your IOS folder through Options button.

4. Check the existing IOS version and storage Space:

  1. Hi, you're perfectly right! I felt the same today when upgrading IOS 12.2(55)SE3 to latest, i.e. 15.2(4)E3 - Universal. Upgrading a 3560 takes 5-6 minutes when upgrading HW, but that one is especially ... long. If I was upgrading through telnet, I would have thought that device was dead.
    One advice to gave to everyone : please use a second supply, if available, connected to an UPS, just in case (one supply to mains, and the other one to UPS).
    I don't know what would happen if there was a mains failure while upgrading HW - but I'm not the one that would test that :-D

    1. Thanks for leaving comments to confirm this long waiting upgrading process.
