Re: Upgrading IOS with new flash on my 2500's [7:65472]
I can honestly say that I've never upgraded my IOS's by console cable. I didn't even know that the 2500 supported that, I only thought that it was the 3600 that supported transfer over the console cable? has anyone done a console cable transfer with a 2500? william, you can do your upgrade in one of two ways, put the new flash into the secondary flash bank and tftp copy to the second flash partition or you can boot to the rom boot-helper with your new flash in the first bank and then tftp. another possibility i suppose you could do is have enough dram memory and do a network boot and then do a tftp copy to the flash. scott ""Clements, William (Bill)"" wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > All, > I recently bought some new flash for my 2500's and would like to know if > there is an easier way to upload the newest IOS, other than with the console > cable. > > Thanks, > > Bill Clements MCSE, CCNP > Network Engineer > INS Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=65677&t=65472 -- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: Upgrading IOS with new flash on my 2500's [7:65472]
What I'd do is, download the smallest IOS I can find for the particular box (ie. 2500) and copy it via console (@>9600). Reboot the router with the working IOS. Now, you can upgrade to the latest IOS image using the ethernet port.
