Automated Conversion Tools
The configuration conversion tool is available as a link from
the Software Center page on cisco.com. This tool allows users to paste in the
configuration of a switch running Catalyst OS and see the resulting command
equivalents under native IOS. In addition to pasting in the configuration in the
supplied window, users may also upload configuration files for conversion.
After the configuration is converted from hybrid to native
syntax, native software must be loaded into the Catalyst. As a last step, the
proper changes to boot commands must be made pointing to the native software.
This can be accomplished by one of two ways:
The software conversion tool is available as a link from the
Software Center page on cisco.com. The software conversion tool is a JAVA-based
application that relies on multiple scripts to convert a switch running hybrid
to a native configuration. Figure A-1
shows the main configuration screen of the software conversion tool.
The software conversion tool has a few requirements and
limitations. You must understand the preconversion instructions that follow
before using the automated tool:
- Step 1. Verify that an MSFC is installed.
- Step 2. Verify that the Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server
is reachable from the Supervisor.
- Step 3. Verify that the TFTP server is reachable from the
MSFC.
- Step 4. Verify that the c6sup## image is on the TFTP server.
- Step 5. Ensure that enough room is available on the device (slot0: or
sup-bootflash:) for the image being copied.
- Step 6. If the configurations are going to be copied to the TFTP
server, and the TFTP server is a UNIX machine, make sure to "touch" the files
and "chmod" the permissions so that they are writable.
- Step 7. The configuration files for both the Supervisor and the MSFC
are backed up as
SupConfig.cfg— Default
Supervisor config filename
RConfig.cfg—
Default MSFC config filename
NOTE
The automated software conversion tool and the manual
conversion process do not work with dual Supervisors. Switches with dual
supervisors must be converted one Supervisor at a time. The secondary Supervisor
should be physically ejected while the primary is converted. After the primary
is converted to native, it should be ejected, and the secondary should be
converted using the same process
