Hi,

1841 router running 12-3(14)T7.

I added a vwic2-1mft-E1/T1 and it throws up a "unrecognized cookie format for card" ERROR.

Anyone have a clue?

Thanks,



Al


 
Hello
Could be IOS check cisco website to see,if you need to upgrade.

I am guessing it shows up in "sh ver", right???
The cookie format sounds like a boot or other ROM chip on either the router MoBo or the WIC board. Console in and initiate a break, then at the
rommon1>
do this...
rommon1>cookie
Make sure you don't have a bunch of zeroes.

If anything, the card is under warranty, right?

Sorted it out...
The IOS version required for this WIC in the 1841 didn't work for me (12.3(14)T7). I upgraded to 12.4 and the error went away.
I was also freaked out because the E1/vwic doesn't configure like a typical T1 wic.

Thanks for your help everyone.
