Re: Changing the Flash mode [7:8657]
putting the router in 0x41 mode will also allow you to have r/w to flash. eric, how did the test go? congrats? -Frank On Fri, 15 Jun 2001, EA Louie wrote: > The only reason (that I can think of) that you'd need to do that is to write > a new image onto flash.

Re: Changing the Flash mode [7:8657]
The only reason (that I can think of) that you'd need to do that is to write a new image onto flash. And when you do a 'copy tftp flash, the router automatically puts the flash into R/W mode. (At least in Ver 12.0 and higher - might even work in 11.2 or' 11.3) If you wanted to do it for some other reason, I'd love to hear about it. -e- - Original Message - From: "friend" To: Sent: Thursday, June 14, 2001 7:36 PM Subject: Changing the Flash mode [7:8657] > Hello, > Does any one know how to change the Flash from Read-only mode to R/W mode ? > Thanks Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=8685&t=8657 -- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Changing the Flash mode [7:8657]
I think the easiest way of changing to R/W and understanding it is to have the router boot from a TFTP server. When it is booting from a TFTP server, whatever is in flash is of no concern, so therefore it is read/write and you can delete it or whatever you want. However, if you are booting from an IOS you have in flash, then the flash is going to only be Read only as the 2500 series runs the IOS from flash and therefore you can't delete something you are currently using.

Re: Changing the Flash mode [7:8657]
Daniel Maybe I am just misunderstanding your answer but you can alter the flash when the router is booted up normally. If you type the command "copy tftp flash" and go through the prompts it will ask you if you want to erase the flash and put the new one in. By erasing the flash and writing the new one in there it is in essence altering the flash. I have done this many times on a 2501 router. Am i mistaken as to what happens when you do a copy tftp flash? Please advise.

RE: Changing the Flash mode [7:8657]
I'll assume that you are referring to a 2500 series router. Keep in mind that a 2500 runs from Flash. You can't alter the Flash while it is in use. Change the configuration register to 0x2101 and reload. It will then boot from ROM as router(boot)>. The Flash will then be R/W.
