Upgrading the Switch Software
This section covers the various aspects of upgrading or downgrading the device software.
Note |
You cannot use the Web UI to install, upgrade, or downgrade device software. |
Finding the Software Version
The package files for the Cisco IOS XE software are stored on the system board flash device (flash:).
You can use the show version privileged EXEC command to see the software version that is running on your switch.
Note |
Although the show version output always shows the software image running on the switch, the model name shown at the end of this display is the factory configuration and does not change if you upgrade the software license. |
You can also use the dir filesystem: privileged EXEC command to see the directory names of other software images that you might have stored in flash memory.

Automatic Boot Loader Upgrade
When you upgrade from any prior Cisco IOS XE 3.x.xE release to a Cisco IOS XE Denali 16.x.x, or Cisco IOS XE Everest 16.x.x, or Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.x.x release for the first time, the boot loader may be automatically upgraded, based on the hardware version of the switch. If the boot loader is automatically upgraded, it will take effect on the next reload. If you go back to a Cisco IOS XE Release 3.x.xE, your boot loader will not be downgraded. The updated boot loader supports all previous releases.
For subsequent Cisco IOS XE Denali 16.x.x, or Cisco IOS XE Everest 16.x.x, or Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.x.x releases, if there is a new bootloader in the release, it may be automatically upgraded based on the hardware version of the switch when you boot up your switch with the new image for the first time.
Caution |
Do not power cycle your switch during the upgrade. |
Scenario |
Automatic Boot Loader Response |
---|---|
If you boot Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.1 or Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.2 or Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.3 or Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.4 or Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.5 or Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.6 or Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.7or Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.8 for the first time. |
The boot loader may be upgraded to version 4.68. For example:

Automatic Microcode Upgrade
During a Cisco IOS image upgrade or downgrade on a PoE or UPoE switch, the microcode is updated to reflect applicable feature enhancements and bug fixes. Do not restart the switch during the upgrade or downgrade process.
Starting with Cisco IOS XE Denali 16.1.1 and all later releases:It takes approximately an additional 4 minutes to complete the microcode upgrade in addition to the normal reload time; however, data traffic continues to be forwarded during the upgrade. The microcode update occurs only during an image upgrade or downgrade on PoE or UPoE switches. It does not occur during switch reloads or on non-PoE switches.

Licensing
This section provides information about the licensing packages for features available on Cisco Catalyst 3850 Series Switches.
License Levels
The software features available on Cisco Catalyst 3850 Series Switches fall under these base or add-on license levels.
Base Licenses
-
LAN Base—Provides basic Layer 2+ features, including access control lists (ACLs) and quality of service (QoS), up to 255 VLANs, support for routing protocols (Routing Information Protocol (RIP), Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), Policy-Based Routing (PBR), Protocol Independent Multicast Stub Routing (PIM Stub Routing) with IPv4 and IPv6, and routed access with IPv4 and IPv6 (OSPF — up to 1000 routes, Multicast — up to 1000 routes).
-
IP Base—Provides Layer 2+ and basic Layer 3 features (enterprise-class intelligent services). These features include access control lists (ACLs), quality of service (QoS), static routing, Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) stub routing, IP multicast routing, RIP, basic IPv6 management, the OSPF Protocol (for routed access only). The license supports up to 4094 VLANs.
-
IP Services—Provides a richer set of enterprise-class intelligent services and full IPv6 support. It includes all IP Base features plus full Layer 3 routing (IP unicast routing and IP multicast routing). The IP Services feature set includes protocols such as the EIGRP, OSPF Protocol. The license supports up to 4094 VLANs.
Add-On Licenses
The features available with add-on license levels provide Cisco innovations on the switch, as well as on the Cisco Digital Network Architecture Center (Cisco DNA Center).
-
DNA Advantage
To find information about platform support and to know which license levels a feature is available with, use Cisco Feature Navigator. To access Cisco Feature Navigator, go to https://cfnng.cisco.com. An account on cisco.com is not required.
License Types
The following license types are available:
-
Permanent—for a license level, and without an expiration date.
-
Evaluation—a license that is not registered.
License Levels - Usage Guidelines
-
A permanent license can be moved from one device to another.
-
A switch stack cannot contain mixed license levels. Also, the switches must be of the same platform.
-
Evaluation licenses cannot be ordered. They are not tracked via Cisco Smart Software Manager and expire after a 90-day period. Evaluation licenses can be used only once on the switch and cannot be regenerated. Warning system messages about an evaluation license expiry are generated only 275 days after expiration and every week thereafter. An expired evaluation license cannot be reactivated after reload.
Cisco Smart Licensing
Cisco Smart Licensing is a flexible licensing model that provides you with an easier, faster, and more consistent way to purchase and manage software across the Cisco portfolio and across your organization. And it’s secure – you control what users can access. With Smart Licensing you get:
-
Easy Activation: Smart Licensing establishes a pool of software licenses that can be used across the entire organization—no more PAKs (Product Activation Keys).
-
Unified Management: My Cisco Entitlements (MCE) provides a complete view into all of your Cisco products and services in an easy-to-use portal, so you always know what you have and what you are using.
-
License Flexibility: Your software is not node-locked to your hardware, so you can easily use and transfer licenses as needed.
To use Smart Licensing, you must first set up a Smart Account on Cisco Software Central (http://software.cisco.com).
Important |
Cisco Smart Licensing is the default and the only available method to manage licenses. |
For a more detailed overview on Cisco Licensing, go to cisco.com/go/licensingguide.
Deploying Smart Licensing
Procedure
Step 1 |
Begin by establishing a connection from your network to Cisco Smart Software Manager on cisco.com. |
Step 2 |
Create and activate your Smart Account, or login if you already have one. To create and activate Smart Account, go to Cisco Software Central → Create Smart Accounts. Only authorized users can activate the Smart Account. |
Step 3 |
Complete the Cisco Smart Software Manager set up. |
What to do next
Converting Traditional Licenses to Smart Licenses
For Cisco Catalyst 3850 Series Switches, after you have upgraded the software image and deployed Smart Licensing, all traditional licenses on the device must be migrated, to Cisco Smart Software Manager. This is a one-time migration process that you must complete on each device.
Procedure
Step 1 |
Register the device Generate the registration token in the Cisco Smart Software Manager portal and register your device with the token. In the software configuration guide of the required release, see System Management → Configuring Smart Licensing → Registering a Device in CSSM. |
Step 2 |
Migrate base licenses The system converts traditional licenses to smart licenses and sends migration data to Cisco Smart Software Manager, which
in turn Cisco Smart Software Manager creates license entitlements and deposits them in your user account. In the software configuration guide of the required release, see System Management → Configuring Smart Licensing → Migrating a License with License Conversion..
|
With this
-
The device is now in an authorized state and ready to use.
-
The licenses that you have purchased are displayed in your Smart Account.
How Upgrading or Downgrading Software Affects Smart Licensing
Starting from Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.1, Smart Licensing is the default and only license management solution; all licenses are managed as Smart Licenses.
Important |
Starting from Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.1, the Right-To-Use (RTU) licensing mode is deprecated, and the associated license right-to-use command is no longer available on the CLI. |
Note how upgrading to a release that supports Smart Licensing or moving to a release that does not support Smart Licensing affects licenses on a device:
-
When you upgrade from an earlier release to one that supports Smart Licensing—all existing licenses remain in evaluation mode until registered in Cisco Smart Software Manager and then converted. After conversion, they are made available in your Smart Account.
In the software configuration guide of the required release, see System Management → Configuring Smart Licensing → Registering a Device in CSSM.
-
When you downgrade to a release where Smart Licensing is not supported—all smart licenses on the device are converted to traditional licenses and all smart licensing information on the device is removed.
Using Smart Licensing on an Out-of-the-Box Device
Scaling Guidelines
System Feature |
Maximum Limit |
---|---|
Number of HTTP session redirections system-wide |
Up to 100 clients per second |
Number of HTTPS session redirections system-wide |
Up to 20 clients per second |
Limitations and Restrictions
-
Cisco TrustSec restrictions:
-
Cisco TrustSec can be configured only on physical interfaces, not on logical interfaces.
-
Cisco TrustSec cannot be configured on a pure bridging domain with the IPSG feature enabled. You must either enable IP routing or disable the IPSG feature in the bridging domain.
-
Dynamic SGACL download is limited to 6KB per destination group tag (DGT)
-
-
Control Plane Policing (CoPP)—The show run command does not display information about classes configured under system-cpp policy, when they are left at default values. Use the show policy-map system-cpp-policy or the show policy-map control-plane commands in privileged EXEC mode instead.
-
DHCP Client—Starting with Cisco IOS XE Denali 16.1.x, a DHCP client that includes option 61 (used by DHCP clients to specify their unique client identifier) in their DHCP discover/offer packet must accept the response message with option 61 from the DHCP server/relay. A client that fails to accept the response message with option 61, is not in compliance with RFC 6842 and requires a firmware upgrade.
-
Centralized Management Mode (CMM)—Starting with Cisco IOS XE Denali 16.3.1, CMM is not supported.
-
Flexible NetFlow—You cannot configure NetFlow export using the Ethernet Management port (GigabitEthernet0/0).
-
Flex Links are not supported. We recommend that you use spanning tree protocol (STP) as the alternative.
-
In-Service Software Upgrade (ISSU)
-
While performing ISSU from Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.x to Cisco IOS XE Gibraltar 16.12.x, if interface-id snmp-if-index command is not configured with OSPFv3, packet loss can occur. Configure the interface-id snmp-if-index command either during the maintenance window or after isolating the device (by using maintenance mode feature) from the network before doing the ISSU.
-
ISSU from Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.x to Cisco IOS XE Gibraltar 16.12.x is not supported in the FIPs mode of operation.
-
-
QoS restrictions:
-
When configuring QoS queuing policy, the sum of the queuing buffer should not exceed 100%.
-
For QoS policies, only switched virtual interfaces (SVI) are supported for logical interfaces.
-
QoS policies are not supported for port-channel interfaces, tunnel interfaces, and other logical interfaces.
-
-
Secure Shell (SSH)
-
Use SSH Version 2. SSH Version 1 is not supported.
-
When the device is running SCP and SSH cryptographic operations, expect high CPU until the SCP read process is completed. SCP supports file transfers between hosts on a network and uses SSH for the transfer.
Since SCP and SSH operations are currently not supported on the hardware crypto engine, running encryption and decryption process in software causes high CPU. The SCP and SSH processes can show as much as 40 or 50 percent CPU usage, but they do not cause the device to shutdown.
-
-
UPoE connections—On the WS-C3850-12X48U-L, WS-C3850-12X48U-S and WS-C3850-12X48U-E switch models, a maximum of 28 ports are available for UPoE connections.
-
VLAN Restriction—It is advisable to have well-defined segregation while defining data and voice domain during switch configuration and to maintain a data VLAN different from voice VLAN across the switch stack. If the same VLAN is configured for data and voice domains on an interface, the resulting high CPU utilization might affect the device.
-
YANG data modeling limitation—A maximum of 20 simultaneous NETCONF sessions are supported.
