This is exactly what you should expect to see on a 2600 series router if you
don't have an IOS in flash, which you don't because you put a brand new one
in there. Use the following steps to load an IOS from a tftp server (these
are instructions I gave to my coworkers and assumes the use of our laptop as
a tftp server):
FLASH Memory Upgrade Instructions for 2600 Series Routers
Before you even start, make sure the IOS you want to install on the router
exists on the laptop!
1. Open router, remove existing FLASH, insert new FLASH
2. Turn router power on. Send a <break> to get to Rommon mode.
3. Connect laptop to switch/hub and take note of its IP address
4. Set the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway for the router:
rommon > IP_ADDRESS=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (Same subnet as laptop)
rommon > IP_SUBNET_MASK=255.255.255.0
rommon > DEFAULT_GATEWAY=<IP address of laptop>
rommon > TFTP_SERVER=<IP address of laptop>
rommon > TFTP_FILE=<name of IOS file>
5. Begin the TFTP download:
rommon > tftpdnld (must be lower case)
Depending on the situation, it may be necessary to set the speed/duplex
setting of the Ethernet port. For this, do the following:
rommon > FE_SPEED_MODE = x
0 = 10 Mbps, half duplex
1 = 10 Mbps, full duplex
2 = 100 Mbps, half duplex
3 = 100 Mbps, full duplex
6. Type �i� or �reset� to restart the router with the new image.
