Re: [Devmon] Not getting data for Cisco 3500 switches

[Robert H. <rob...@gm...>]

Couple of thoughts ...
First, are all your tests failing, or just specific ones?  When we were
running the old IOS, I only a couple of tests were failing:  serial & if_dsc
The more basic tests should work (if_stat, cpu, if_load, others?)

Here is some info on our IOS update:
I was able to do the upgrade with out removing the old image.  The step that
made the biggest difference was removing the html directory contents off the
switch.  That took up 1/2 of the flash.  (I believe) this directory is only
used if you have the http server enabled on the switch.  I followed the
directions below, except I did not remove the old .bin (IOS):
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/473/36.shtml

Here is some info off our switches, notice our old IOS is still in flash
Looks like we have 16MB:

Hope this helps,
