Dear groupstudy: We have a 4500M with empty bootflash/flash. We are at the rommon prompt and have access only to "dnld". No "tftpdnld" or "xmodem" commands available. Thought dnld was probably the older name for xmodem and tried using it. No success. Each time a new line is received from the sending xmodem program (pro-comm plus), dnld tries to interpret it as a command. We searched www.cisco.com a lot but I can't find any documentation on the "dnld" command. Any help in getting this 4500 up is appreciated. Thank you Subu _________________________________ FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
