Cisco 3000 Router

[ned2nav]

Hello,

I currently have a cisco 3000 router w/ 2 ethernet ports. I upgraded the flash to 16mb from 8mb and was trying to upgrade the ios, and accidentally entered the wrong registry settings. What was entered was 0x1000 instead of 0x2101. The router now wont show me a thing in hyperterm, but the ok status light is on in the front. Can some one please give me an idea on how to get this router back to life. Thank you in advance.

0x1000 has reset your router to operate at 1200 baud and start in ROM mode. Change your COM port speed to match 1200. If you are able to get back on to the router at 1200 baud, change the config register back to 0x2102 to boot in normal mode.

Thank you for the quick reply. The only rpoblem now is how do you upgrade, or upload the ios into the thing. I know that on the 2500 series you would issue the command copy tftp flash. But it will not let me do it here. is there a nother way to do it.

The Cisco website is always a great place to start for info. Here is a doco which we prepared for you earlier ;-)

Thank you again for the quick reply. After doing what it says in the document, and i get out to the Router(boot)> prompt and type enable it all works great. The problem is that it will not give me the option to copy from tftp to flash. The only option it gives me is flh-log. Is there any other way to upload the ios on this 3000 router. Thank you in advance.

What is the output if you type, Router(boot)# copy ?

If the copy options are not displayed, then perhaps your boot image version does not support it, though I would think this would be unusal.

The other method to transfer files is to use xmodem, though I'm not sure if the 3000 supports this feature.

I've been caught out by this in the past, the 3600 series didnt support tftp file copying from rommom mode, so maybe the 3000 is the same. At the Router(boot) prompt what do you get if you type ?, do you see a tftp option?
