I need help on 2924xl switch

[jasmjaso]

I'm having problems upgading the image, I'm doing it the way cisco website instructed . I cannot rename the image I get an error. I can you please direct me to some thing that work, or instruct me on this, Thanks.

 

[sharb]

Are you using TFTP to download the Image? if you do what happens?

 

[jasmjaso]

I get a message saying cannot find image, or path not found
This is confusing cause I following cisco website doc. On this, please help.

 

[hexn]

If you are getting an error saying that it cannot find an image when you attempt a tftp transfer, it is because your new IOS does not reside in your tftp root directory. There is an option in the tftp server program to set the root directory. You should set it to where the IOS image resides on your computer. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

OK, so what you are telling me is that the IOS is located in the "c:\2900\" directory right? Well, on your TFTP server, which is running on your computer with IP address 192.168.200.26, click on "view, options" and change the root directory to c:\2900. Then, in your switch, type:

copy tftp://192.168.200.26/c2900xl-c3h2s-mz.120-5.wc2.tar flash:

and that should do it.

Let me know ~~~~~~~~~~

[jasmjaso]

It is configure for the root directory I still get this problem.

 

[hexn]

You're getting alot of timeouts. Can you ping your tftp server from your switch? Other than that, I dont know what else you can try, except to try from a different PC. ~~~~~~~~~~

[jasmjaso]

Yes I can, I think this thing is screwed up. Now it will not boot up the image must be corrupted. You know how to solve a none working switch?

 

[hexn]

The only way to get recover a "no IOS" switch is through xmodem. xmodem is the protocol you use to transfer a file over a console cable into the switch. It is extremely slow. It will take about 20-40 minutes to transfer a full IOS into the switch.

The destructions can be found here:

Thanks for the info, I'm doing it now. Only problem is I followed instruction using a .tar extension, and it will not boot up with any image. I'll start from scratch, and see how it turn out with a .bin extension.

Hi jasmjaso.

You can´t use
copy tftp://192.168.200.26/c2900xl-c3h2s-mz.120-5.wc2.tar flash: command with a file which have extension .tar. Tar file is a packed file like in unix systems. Use following command:
tar /x tftp://192.168.200.26/c2900xl-c3h2s-mz.120-5.wc2.tar flash:

Tar-file includes all html-files and ios-file (.bin)
There is a good document on cisco pages

http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/473/36.shtml

check it.

Good luck.
