Note To learn the differences for the install and bundle installation modes, see the “Working with the Cisco
IOS File System, Configuration File, and Software Bundle Files” chapter of the Cisco IOS File System,
Configuration Files, and Bundle Files Appendix, Cisco IOS XE Release 3SE (Catalyst 3850 Switches)
Step 3 If your switch stack is running in bundle mode, use the request platform software package expand
switch file to flash command to convert it to install mode.
Step 4 After the .bin file has successfully extracted to flash, change the boot statement and boot to the
packages.conf file.
Note Since the format of the pacakges.conf file has changed in Cisco IOS XE Release Denali 16.1, overwrite
the old packages.conf with the new packages.conf file. Perform the above step for eachswitch in your
stack. If you have a 3 member stack, it will need to be done on flash:, flash-2:, and flash-3.
Note Make sure the tftp server is reachable. To improve performance, increase the tftp block size to 8192. Use
the ip tftp blocksize bytes command in global configuration mode.
