NOTE: Not all USB flash drives are supported, hence my recommendation to get several ready. USB pen drive max. 16GB format as FAT16 2. Copy the.bin image onto the flash drive 3. Disconnect the switch from power 4. Connect the flash drive to the switch. USB is the much easier solution, for this to work you need a compatible USB stick, I have always used a Kingston brand and have never had any problems. This is the exact USB stick I use for upgrading IOS on Cisco Switches. Kingston 32Gb USB Flash with Metal Casing. Insert the USB stick into the slot on the front of the Cisco 4500X switch as. I found that copy files one by one from tftp server to Cisco router flash is extremely annoying and inefficient. So what I did is to group the files I want to copy to Cisco router flash in tar format with 7zip, then use the copy command in cisco IOS. Router#copy tftp://192.168.0.10/IOS.tar flash: Destination filename IOS.tar?

The three most common commands used for image copying are:
copy tftp flash
copy rcp flash
copy slot0: slot1:
The example below illustrates the procedure to follow for copying the system image from one device to another (for example, from one slot/disk to another slot/disk) on Cisco 3600 series routers.
Detailed Example
The copy command shown below is used to copy the system image file from one device to another. In the following example, the system image is copied from slot0 to slot1.

Copying From One Router to Another
Below are the steps to follow for copying the Cisco IOS software image from a router acting as TFTP server to another router. Both routers in this example are Cisco 2500 series routers. In this example, Router1 is the TFTP server and Router2 is the router on which the Cisco IOS software image is being copied to.
Before you begin, verify the connectivity between Router1 and Router2 using the ping command.
Check the image size on Router1 with the show flash command.
Check the image size on Router2 with the show flash command to verify if enough space is available on Router2 for the system image file to be copied.
Note: If there is enough space to copy the system image file, then the original one can be retained and the new file can be copied in the additional memory space. If there is not enough space available, as in this case, then the existing file from the Flash is erased while downloading a new one. It is a good practice to backup the existing system image to the TFTP server using the copy flash tftp command.
Configure Router1 as the TFTP server using the configure terminal command.
Note: The options given above for the tftp-server command may vary for different platforms.
When the TFTP server is configured, download the specified image from Router1 to Router2 using the copy tftp flash command.
Verify the Flash for the new system image on Router2.
* The router only reloads for the Run-from-flash systems. For more details, see Copying to Flash Memory for Run-from-Flash Systems
Note: In order to copy a Startup-config file from one device to another, refer to Copying Configuration Files By Using TFTP.
