Guide to Downloading and Installing nxos64-cs.10.2.4.m.bin for Cisco Nexus 9000
This release allows for the onboarding of supported Nexus Switches to Nexus Cloud, enabling advanced telemetry and analytics.
If you are downloading the file to a macOS Ventura (or later) device to then transfer it to a switch via SCP, you may encounter a "subsystem request failed" error. This is due to SCP defaulting to SFTP in newer OpenSSH versions. Use the -O flag with your SCP command to fix this: scp -O nxos64-cs.10.2.4.M.bin admin@switch:bootflash: . nxos64-cs.10.2.4.m.bin download
gpg --import cisco-pubkey.asc gpg --verify nxos64-cs.10.2.4.m.bin.sign nxos64-cs.10.2.4.m.bin
Confirm the variable points to the new image.
This is a known bug that is typically resolved by reloading the image or booting an older release first. switch(boot)# boot nxos64-cs
on switches that require the "nxos64-msll" image (like Nexus 9500 -R/-R2 line cards). Using the wrong image can cause boot loops or other failures.
