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?

press the braek key on your terminal after power on and see if rommon shows up..

Re: Main Diagnostic Menu on 2501 router??? [7:64427]
No. Nothing happens. I was wondering. Is this Main Diagnostic Menu module part of the router by default (like Power-On Self Test, rommon or Mini-IOS) or it is a SW module that someone downloaded on it to test the equipment?

what I would check isopen up the case and see if there is a "credit card"/PC card/pcmcia flash memory module inserted into the mainboard (you'll see the slot, its obvious). also make sure there is standard memory inserted in the regular memory slots. lets us know what you find. scott ""Jean-Marc Simard"" wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > I just bought a 2501 router through Ebay for my CCIP/CCNP study and it's not > supposed to have an IOS on it.

You were pretty close. I opened it last week and I found 2 Diag roms instead of the needed boot roms. Thanks everyone.
