CAT6500 Flash Memory [7:65746]
Im looking for flash memory to upgrade my 6509s from their current 16M flash cards. I was looking at Viking and Cisco and all they offer is 16M 20M flash cards. Is there something in CATOS that would prevent something larger like 40M or 64M? I only want to do this once and 20M doesnt seem large enough to hold router and CATOS firmware at the same time for the next 5 years. Any recommendations on a vendor who makes larger flash cards? Thanks!

Re: CAT6500 Flash Memory [7:65746]
the standard for the Cat 6509 that we use is the 24M flash from Viking or Intel..the larger ATA cards wont work in the 6500.

catOS doesn't support flash disk so your limited to 24M. Dave Jeffrey Reed wrote: Im looking for flash memory to upgrade my 6509s from their current 16M flash cards.

pcmcia flash memory card for 2501 [7:63741]
Hi, I was told that there is a flash memory pcmcia card for the 2501's which can be used to upgrade the flash. I wasn't aware that there the 2501's supported these cards. A search on cisco's website indicates that indeed there are flash memory cards but what I do not understand is why would it be needed. Isn't it possible to go into rommon and than copy the image from a tftp server. Can someone shed some light on the pcmcia cards and what can they be used for and how much would one cost and what kind of slot is it. Appreciate the help.

I have 4 2500 series routers and not a one of them has a pcmcia slot on it.I know the 16xx routers use pcmcia falsh cards but I have yet to see a 2500 with a pcmcia slot. HTH Don K.

RE: pcmcia flash memory card for 2501 [7:63741]
Certain models of 2501 have a PCMCIA slot inside the case. I have never tried to use it, though, and I do not know what it's for. I have always assumed that it was just a holdover from some older implementation and Cisco just kept using those boards until the supplies ran out. But I don't know that for sure.

RE: pcmcia flash memory card for 2501 [7:63741]
Don You may want to take the cover off of the 2500s and have a look at the front right hand side of the motherboard. There is definitely something there that looks like a pcmcia slot. I dont know anything more than that, if it works, how it is used, but it is definitely there :-) Regards Peter Walker --On 25 February 2003 17:13 + Don Kanicki wrote: I have 4 2500 series routers and not a one of them has a pcmcia slot on it.I know the 16xx routers use pcmcia falsh cards but I have yet to see a 2500 with a pcmcia slot.

It was said that originally Cisco intended to use PCMCIA slot for update later. But that's haven't happened. I read from Cisco doc, it says the slot never been populated.

1720 flash memory issue [7:53919]
Just installed a 16MByte Viking Flash memory card (Viking p/n CS16MC5V) in a Cisco 1720 router with the following Boot ROM: ROM: System Bootstrap, Version 12.0(3)T, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1) The Flash appears to work (I can flash IOS images on them), but the router only sees the flash as 4 MBytes total, not 16M. I re-seated the flash card (with power off of course), with no change. The label on the flash card clearly has the p/n and 16MB on it. Is the flash bad or does the version of boot ROM in the router not recognize the larger flash? Where can I check max flash size supported for specific boot rom versions?? Any input appreciated. regards, dj Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7i=53919t=53919 -- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Is the flash bad or does the version of boot ROM in the router not recognize the larger flash? Where can I check max flash size supported for specific boot rom versions??

Needing flash memory EPROMs for a first generatio [7:46925]
Hello all, I have 2 megs of flash on a first generation 4000 with a daughter card. I would like to upgrade flash so I can install a more recent IOS but am having trouble finding a place that sells this old school memory. From what I understand to upgrade flash memory on this router I would have to either add Eproms to the current daughter board or replace the daughter board. Does anyone have any recommendations on where I can find memory for this router ?

2500 flash memory SIMMs don't work [7:37586]
A couple of months ago I bought some (non-approved) 8M flash for c2500 for $76 per SIMM (ouch). I couldn't write to them. I have now upgraded to bootrom version 11.0(10c)XB2. I still can't write to them. The SIMMs are marked SMART SM73228XV1CAVS0. Does anybody know whether these modules should work?

PIX - Flash Memory Upgrade [7:22209]
This question is for you PIX Firewall experts. I have a Cisco PIX Firewall (probably it's a PIX Classic, I'm not sure) and I would like to upgrade its hardware. I have 8MB of RAM and 2MB of Flash Memory. I think I won't have problems to upgrade the RAM memory, but in the case of the Flash Memory I don't know if I can upgrade it because my 2MB of Flash is composed by 4 chips (EPROMs) each one containing 512KB of Flash memory, summarizing 2MB. I have no available sockets to insert more chips. Is it possible to find EPROMS in the market containing at least 2MB for each chip so that I can upgrade my Flash Memory to 8MB ? My new hardware configuration will provide me the possibility of upgrading my software from 4.1(5) to new software version 6.0 ?

RE: PIX - Flash Memory Upgrade [7:22209]
I might be totally off here, because I am NOT a PIX firewall expert (yet). However, I would like to give it a try anyway. 1) Does your PIX firewall have a model number on the box - 5xx ? 2) Does a show ver show anything about what model it is ? The thing is, once you know what model it is, you can look it up on the CCO, and see exactly what memory expansion options you have.

Re: Flash memory issues [7:17561]
Theoretically it could be the ROM's, being that the 11.0 (10c)'s upped the ability to other FLASH manufacturers, as opposed to Intel Panasonic. Generally- if you have boot ROM's of a lower code (say 10.0), no usable interfaces appears when trying to run 12.x in the 2500 series.

RE: Flash memory issues [7:17561]
Robert, You can set the config register to not boot the IOS. Then you should be able to erase the flash. From what you show, it may be a bad simm, bad motherboard (I've seen that a lot with this type of error), or possibly older bootroms that don't support the simm in there (though it looks like you have a recent bootrom). Has this been running ok, then started flaking out, or has it always been this way? I believe netbooting should also allow you to erase flash, as you won't be locking it during boot/run-from-flash.

RE: Flash memory issues [7:17561]
Try playing from router(boot)# mode rather than rommon mode. Change your config register to 0x2141 to not use the config stored in NVRAM and to not use the image stored in Flash. Then you can erase the flash. I can't comment on the startup message. Older bootROMs did not recognize many manufacturers of Flash. I did buy flash on eBay that was stated to be Cisco 2500 compatible. In fact it was pulls from Cisco 5200s. Worked like a charm. I removed the original Flash and used two sticks of the new. I then used the original in groups of two on other routers. New bootROMs are good. I'm not sure how old they have to be to cause troubles with newer IOS images. -Original Message- From: Robert McIntire [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, August 28, 2001 2:17 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Flash memory issues [7:17561] I have a 2514 set up in my home lab that is having memory problems.

Re: Reset Flash Memory [7:535]
On a 3640 you can upgrade the IOS using tftp but not xmodem. So, you'll need IP connectivity to a tftp server. Here are the instructions I give to the people I work with. Make whatever changes are necessary to make this work for you. These instructions were originally for upgrading the flash and then loading a new IOS. 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 signal 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= rommon TFTP_SERVER= rommon TFTP_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. "Vaaj Ntxawg" 4/13/01 5:44:46 PM Please help me with the following. I need trying to download IOS to 3640 vie xmodem using hyperterminal.

Re: Flash memory question
You will be able to overwrite the flash file with a newer one(or whatever), it will ask you first if you want to erase flash before coming the IOS over.

Re: Flash Memory
If you want 16MB of flash, you have to erase the second flash partition and merge the two 8MB flash modules. First, set up your tftp server and make a back up copy (it's always nice to be able to go back if you need to). copy flash tftp (follow the prompts - enter the info requested) Commands to merge flash partitions: enable config terminal no partition flash (It will ask you if you want to erase the second partition. Confirm this.) sh ver (you'll see 16,384 --or close-- system flash) That's it - Your flash partitions will merge into one and you will have 16 MB flash.

RE: 2511 Flash Memory Question
Tom, Try these steps, I think Boot the router in boot mode. Enable and enter configuration mode Issue "no partition flash" (or "no flash partition" - I think that it was the first one). Write the config change to memory. Reload the router (still in boot mode). Once this has been done I think that you will see a single flash partition.
