Yes, I know its' old, but it's what I have. Can the onboard flash go above
4k. I have flash sticks for 2500 and 2600 lying about, and wondered whether
one would fit. I understand that I would then have to use the ROM monitor
mode to do the transfer. The Sup I does not have a space for a PCMIA flash
card.

It would be just as easy, I guess, to erase the flash, and use the ROM MON
method to transfer the bigger image over, but there's something comforting
about having the old flash still on a flash chip that can be popped back in.
I have already backed up the old image to a tftp server, so that is taken
care of, at least.

All this to try a few newer commands like set spantree 3/1 uplinkfast

I think the answer will be no, so I am not holding my breath.

Thanks,
Tom Larus
