I am having some problems with a Cisco Switch. When I boot it, I get the following info: -- C2900XL Boot Loader (C2900-HBOOT-M) Version 11.2(8)SA1, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1) Compiled Tue 03-Feb-98 14:59 by rheaton starting...

The BOOT environment variable needs to be set to a bootable image. switch: --------------------------------------------------- There is obviously no file named flash:c2900XL-h-mz-112.8-SA1. There is no IOS in the flash at the moment. I am trying to transfer over an IOS file from the TFTP server, but get the following output: switch: copy tftp:c2900XL-c3h2s-mz-120.5-XU.bin flash:c2900XL-c3h2s-mz-120.5-XU.bin tftp:c2900XL-c3h2s-mz-120.5-XU.bin: permission denied switch: or switch: copy tftp://25.6.104.111/c2900XL-c3h2s-mz-120.5-XU.bin flash:c2900XL-c3h 2s-mz-120.5-XU.bin tftp://25.6.104.111/c2900XL-c3h2s-mz-120.5-XU.bin: permission denied --------------------------------------------------- The file is there, and I CAN take it off the TFTP server with the C2924-XL-EN Switch that I have. There are both connected together through the same hub. I was also told to try the following: switch: format flash: Are you sure you want to format "flash:" (all data will be lost) (y/n)?y flashfs[0]: 0 files, 1 directories flashfs[0]: 0 orphaned files, 0 orphaned directories flashfs[0]: Total bytes: 1728000 flashfs[0]: Bytes used: 1024 flashfs[0]: Bytes available: 1726976 flashfs[0]: flashfs fsck took 2 seconds.
