    Hello Every one,

                                  I have around 6 switches for the customer. Three 2910 al J9146A and three J9148A model. I downloaded their images as they were running old image  W.14.06.

    1st of all i didn't find any where which one is recommended image for these products. But i found the latest one which is W.15.08.

    *** BootROM update ***

    This software includes an update to BootROM W.14.06.
    If your switch has an older version of BootROM, the
    BootROM will be updated with this software.

    **Do not interrupt power to the switch during the update!!**

    I have downloaded latest images for both models via TFTP. Its working fine on Primary secondry. But still it hasn't updated BootRom image. As its mentioned in relase notes.

     

    I did the same. couple of times reboot etc etc
     but still BootRom Image is still W.14.06.....

    The boot ROM version and the software version rarely (possibly never - i can't recall) match.  As long as your switch reboots successfully and 'show version' reports that you are running the version that 'show flash' shows as available, then you're in good shape.
