Cisco IOS Software

[cormon]

I have cisco 2600 that is booting to Rommon mode . I need to reinstalled the sotware image via Xmodem across a console cable , the only problem is I dont have a privilgied cisco website logon to get the software required. Is there any other way to get the relevant bin files for installation other than the website.

thanks

If you didn't keep a copy of it for situations like this (a good idea, in the future) then the only legal way to get a copy of the software is to buy it from Cisco.

Are you sure there is nothing in flash and maybe just the config register is incorrect ?

When you get your software to load visit the following sight on how to tftp from rommon mode. This will save hours depending on size of file as you can send it ethernet (fast) instead of xmodem (slow).

Also, I always thought Cisco provided IP only software at no charge. You might email them and see if it is available.

Doudle check the config register...normal setting is 0x2102.
Check flash for multiple images...might be more than one file.

Hope this is useful

The "dev" command will display the devices available. Once you see a device you display its contents with the "dir" command. So if you do a dev command and flash is displayed in the output, then you issue a "dir flash:" command to display its contents, hopefully an IOS image is there. Else, you're out of luck.
