This is a easy task!First,download IOS software image from

http://www.cisco.com

, and save it to your pc or notebook's harddisk;Then connect to cisco catalyst 3548 by console port(9600,8,0,1,none),such as microsoft windows HyperTerminal;Then reboot or power on your switch,if it have no ios software image in flash,it can automatic enter &quot;Rom Monitor&quot;mode.Ok,we can copy new ios software image to your switch's flash by use commands as following:&quot;Copy xmodem: Flash:<Filename>&quot;,notes that where <Filename> is the name of the file that you downloaded;With HyperTerminal, use the &quot;TRANSFER&quot; -- &quot;SEND FILE&quot; option using the XMODEM protocol. Be sure to start the XMODEM download within 3 seconds; otherwise, the switch will timeout the XMODEM copy. If you have any questions about this prob please visit &quot;
