Hi, Given that you probably don't have any other modules in the router that you can do this on (like Ethernet, Token Ring, or Serial)...
You can do this by configuring your AUX port for asynchronous routing and connecting to it with your PC over a special "null-modem" cable. The following link describes how to configure your PC to talk to a Cisco router over a null-modem cable to the AUX port: http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/471/103.html You will need the mdmcisco.inf null-modem driver for your operating system. Here are some basic tasks: 1. Configure a "dial up networking" connection on the PC. You'll need a special modem driver to support PC-to-Cisco async connections over PPP. Check out the link above. Assign a static IP address to the PC dial-up adapter (ie. 192.168.0.1) 2. Configure the Cisco router AUX port to perform asynchronous routing. Do the following: line aux 0 speed 38400 parity none databits 8 stopbits 1 flowcontrol hardware modem inout int async 0 (* you might need to use a different interface # - use 'show line' to find your AUX port interface #) async mode dedicated async default routing ip address 192.168.0.2 255.255.255.0 encapsulation ppp keepalive 5 pulse 5 no shutdown 3. With these two configuration steps, you should be able to 'dial' into your Cisco router over the null-modem cable using PPP. At this point, you will have a network-layer connection to the Cisco router and should be able to TELNET, TFTP, and perform flash management (ie. uploading a new IOS version). IT WILL BE SLOW... BUT IT WORKS! Paul Lalonde ""Ali RETy"" wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > How can I upgrade IOS on 4000 Router through console connection.
