Upgrading the Switch Software
Cluster Compatibility
You cannot create and manage switch clusters through the device manager. To create and manage switch 
clusters, use the command-line interface (CLI). 
When creating a switch cluster or adding a switch to a cluster, follow these guidelines:
When you create a switch cluster, we recommend configuring the highest-end switch in your cluster 
as the command switch.
The standby command switch must be the same type as the command switch. For example, if the 
command switch is a CGESM switch, all standby command switches must be CGESM switches. 
Upgrading the Switch Software
These are the procedures for downloading software. Before downloading software, read this section for 
important information:
Finding the Software Version and Feature Set
The Cisco IOS image is stored as a bin file in a directory that is named with the Cisco IOS release. 
A subdirectory contains the files needed for web management. The image is stored on the system board 
flash device (flash:).
You can use the show version user EXEC command to display the software version that is running on 
your switch.
You also can use the dir filesystem: privileged EXEC command to see the directory names of other 
software images that you might have stored in flash memory.
