"If there are no boot commands in the configuration file, the router
attempts to boot the first file in system Flash memory. If no file is found
in system Flash memory, the router attempts to netboot a default file whose
name is derived from the value of the boot field (for example: cisco2-4000).
If the netboot attempt fails, the boot helper image in boot Flash will boot
up"
QUESTION:
Why is not netboot working the way it is suppose to?
WHAT I DID:
My virtual configuration setting register is set to 0x2102. (Which means I
am allowing netboot in case of failure)
In my startup-config I have told the router to load the IOS from the TFTP
server (located on e0)
I have removed the IOS from the TFTP server and I have erased flash. (To
force netboot)
I have put a renamed copy of my IOS at the root of the TFTP server. Since I
am using 0x2102, the name the router will search during netboot will be
cisco2-4000.bin. (Just in case I copied the IOS as: cisco2-4000.bin and
Cisco2-4000)
WHAT I GOT:
Copyright (c) 1986-1994 by cisco Systems
4000 processor with 32768 Kbytes of main memory
Illegal IP keyword - classless
Booting c4000-js-mz.120-2a.bin ..... [File not found]
Network load failed
INTERPRETATION:
The netboot failed or was never attempted!??
***************************Can you Help: did I miss something? did the
router actually tried netboot? I have no clues...
THANKS
