Subject: Help: Main Diagnostic Menu on 2501 router??? [7:64427]
I just bought a 2501 router through Ebay for my CCIP/CCNP study and it's
not
supposed to have an IOS on it. When I power it up, instead of getting the
rommon> prompt, I get the Main Diagnostic Menu as shown below. If I execute
the diag tests offered all the tests pass, but I just can't get past this
menu.
Can someone, please, tell me what is wrong with it or how I can work around
it?
Thanks a lot
JM
(I had some problems with my mailer, so sorry if it gets posted twice)
