Cisco – What are .pkg Files in Flash Drive?

backupsciscocisco-iosswitchtftp

I have a Cisco 3650 switch and want to backup my IOS via tftp.

System image file is flash:packages.conf

#sh flash   
cat3k_caa-base.SPA.03.03.05SE.pkg   
cat3k_caa-drivers.SPA.03.03.05SE.pkg  
cat3k_caa-infra.SPA.03.03.05SE.pkg  
cat3k_caa-iosd-universalk9.SPA.150-1.EZ5.pkg   
cat3k_caa-platform.SPA.03.03.05SE.pkg  
cat3k_caa-wcm.SPA.10.1.150.0.pkg       
packages.conf   
nvram_config  
vlan.dat

Which file i want to download for backup the current ios on cisco switch?

And how can i download this ios to another switch?

Best Answer

Is it possible you are talking about 3650, not 3560? The switch is running in "install mode" and .pkg files are packages extracted from .bin. You could check the files that switch is using with a command:

show version running

Backup all these files + packages.conf (if you do not have original *.bin file)
