Booting the Cisco Catalyst 3850 Switch in Bundle Mode

Booting a Cisco Catalyst 3850 Switch in bundle mode is just like booting a monolithic Cisco IOS Software image on
a Cisco Catalyst 3750-X Switch.
This command boots the switch in bundle mode:
switch: boot flash:cat3k_caa-universalk9.SPA.03.07.00.E.152-3.E.bin

Note:
packages are extracted from the bundle and copied to the RAM.
You can boot the switch in bundle mode from the built-in flash memory, an external USB drive (usbflash0), or
TFTP. Bundle mode is used to boot a Cisco Catalyst 3850 Switch from the boot loader prompt.

Updating Cisco IOS XE Software

When the switch is in install mode, you can install any new Cisco IOS XE Software bundle by using the software
install command.
Note:
Use the show switch command to check the status of the switch or switch stack. This example shows the status
of a two-switch stack, where switch 1 is active:
Switch# show switch
Switch/Stack Mac Address : 00e1.6d52.c600 - Local Mac Address
Mac persistency wait time: Indefinite
