First (and most importantly), you only upgraded the IOS image, you did not upgrade the integrated web server that is a part of an upgrade. On a CAT 1900, it is integrated with the system binary. On a CAT2900XL, there are separate individual files that make up the "web site" that you access when using the visual switch manager. First, you will need to get the proper binary. Since you have already uploaded the most current binary file, you will need to get the web site only file:c2900XL-html.120.5.2-XU.tar Before attempting to install the tar file above, you will need to get access to privileged mode again. Probably the only major change you need is to attempt to reset the boot environment to use the proper image name. If you noticed above, you set the boot system command to boot the following image: c2900XL-c3h2s-mz-120_5_2-XU.bin According to CCO, the image is actually called: c2900XL-c3h2s-mz-120.5.2-XU.bin Me thinks you might have had a few typos in there. Hold the mode button in and hard power cycle the switch. See if you can execute the following command from the boot mode (this is one line, watch wrap): rename flash:c2900XL-c3h2s-mz-120.5.2-XU.bin flash:c2900XL- c3h2s-mz-120_5_2-XU.bin At the prompt (switch:), then type the following command: boot When the router boots, you will need to do a few fixes. First, set your boot process back to what it should be. At the privileged mode, first type the following command: rename flash:c2900XL-c3h2s-mz-120_5_2-XU.bin flash:c2900XL- c3h2s-mz-120.5.2-XU.bin This will put your system binary back to its correct name. Then enter the correct boot system command as follows: boot system c3h2s-mz-120.5.2-XU.bin In the same place you entered it before. Verify you did it all correctly by typing the following command at privileged mode: show boot Finally, you have to fix the remaining problem and the point of my post. You need to get the correct web site synchronized to your IOS image. Since you already got a copy of the files required form the step above(c2900XL-html.120.5.2-XU.tar), you will now need to issue the following command at privileged mode: tar /x tftp://x.x.x.x//c2900XL-html.120.5.2-XU.tar flash:html Make sure you have a properly connected TFTP server with an IP address of x.x.x.x (you fill in what x is); you have an IP address on the switch of x.x.x.x+1 ; you set the file c2900XL- html.120.5.2-XU.tar at the root of your tftp server and ping the remote host before you perform the tar extraction command above. It will then extract all the itty bitty files that make up your switch web site.
