After catching heck with version 6.3 boot variable and a few other newer commands with the 6509s @ work, I decided to upgrade my home lab from a Sup I Cat5k with a Sup III tote'n Cat55k.
Problem: I fired up the switch and it goes through the POST perfectly, but there is no output on the Hyper Term. The Hyper Term and connections check out perfectly. I hit the reset button and tried various break functions- still nothing. I connected the switch to a router in my lab and this is what I see. r1#sh cdp nei detail ------------------------- Device ID: 066552032 Entry address(es): Platform: WS-C5505, Capabilities: Trans-Bridge Source-Route-Bridge Switch Interface: FastEthernet0, Port ID (outgoing port): 2/1 Holdtime : 138 sec Version : WS-C5505 Software, Version McpSW: 4.5(12) NmpSW: 4.5(12) Copyright (c) 1995-2001 by Cisco Systems advertisement version: 1 Rats !!!
