Are you sure there's not an option in the rommon to configure Eth 0/0 with an ip address and do a tftp transfer ? uploading via x/y modem takes donkeys years .. Especially if your image is around the 12-14mb size.
Here's some doc from cisco.com about it: http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/471/76.html -Dan -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Skeeve Stevens Sent: Wednesday, 13 June 2007 1:39 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [c-nsp] upgrading IOS on a 2610xm question When you say serial, I assume you mean console? Could you not do a xmodem upload using console? From: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/customer/products/hw/routers/ps259/products_t ech_ note09186a008015bfac.shtml Here is an example of the xmodem command issued on a Cisco 2620 Router: rommon 1 >xmodem -? xmodem: illegal option -- ? usage: xmodem [-cyrx] <destination filename> -c CRC-16 -y ymodem-batch protocol -r copy image to dram for launch -x do not launch on download completion Examples rommon 12 > xmodem -cfs115200 c1600-sy-mz.121-16.bin rommon 2 > xmodem -c c2600-is-mz.122-10a.bin Notes: * The xmodem transfer only works on the console port. You can only download files to the router. You cannot use xmodem to get files from the router. * It is also important to note that the -sdata-rate option is only available on the Cisco 1600 Series Routers and was implemented to overcome the console baud rate limitation of 9600 bps. If you specify -sdata-rate of 115200 bps for example, you can increase the download rate and hence, reduce download time. Other Cisco routers support console speeds up to 115200 bps. Therefore, the -sdata-rate option is not required. * Ensure that the PC serial port is using a 16550 universal asynchronous transmitter/receiver (UART) if you are downloading a Cisco IOS software image through the router's console speed at 115200. If the PC serial port is not using a 16550 UART, it is recommended that you use a speed of 38,400 or lower. ...Skeeve -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Scott Granados Sent: Wednesday, 13 June 2007 3:11 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [c-nsp] upgrading IOS on a 2610xm question Can someone point me at the appropriate link for upgrade instructions to install IOS for the first time if you're say upgrading flash and no previous image exists. I tried the serial option and it didn't work for me for some reason so I wanted to review and the google gods were not smiling on me.
