All, Apparently the erased flash problem happened to several people. I received several requests for how to restore the flash (if you have an image or the image CD). So please excuse the long text here. You will need the following: 1. TFTP, it is on the software CD or download from Cisco website. 2. A workstation W95/98 or NT - with IP, install TFTP on it. 2a. Put image in same directory to make it easy to restore. 3. Connect router console cable to the workstation. 4. Connect workstation and router ethernet port to hub (or directly to each other using a crossover cable). 6. Start TFTP on your workstation. 7. Start a communication program such as Hyper Term to access router. 8. Router will put you in rommon mode, issue the following commands: 9. tftpdnld (after this is loaded you can always use ? for help). 10. IP_ADDRESS=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (uppercase IP adress of router, use any) 11. IP_SUBNET_MASK= (the subnet mask) 12. DEFAULT_GATEWAY=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (any IP on same net) 13. TFTP_SERVER=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (IP address of your TFTP workstation) 14. TFTP_FILE=location/name.of.the.image 15. tftpdnld That's it. I hope this help. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, August 10, 2000 12:38 AM > To: Nguyen_Trang > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: erased flash(problem solved) > > > Thanks a lot of your kind help. > > I got another copy of the image and downloaded that in the > router thru tftp > server. > > Thanks > Hitesh > > > > > > Nguyen_Trang <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> on 08/09/2000 09:40:44 PM > > Please respond to Nguyen_Trang <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > cc: (bcc: harora) > Subject: RE: erased flash > > > > > Your flash is erased or the flash memory module is bad. > If you have a backup copy of the image restore it. > > Trang > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > > Sent: Wednesday, August 09, 2000 6:28 AM > > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Subject: erased flash > > > > > > Hi all, > > > > I need a help from you guys. > > > > I have a problem with one of the cisco router(1700 series). > The router > > automatically goes into rommon mode and says that > > > > "can not open flash: > > unable to determine flash: > > > > The flash is corrupted or what? > > > > What can be the cause of this problem > > Thanks in advance > > Hitesh > > > > > > ___________________________________ > > UPDATED Posting Guidelines: > http://www.groupstudy.com/list/guide.html > > FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com > > Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > ___________________________________ > UPDATED Posting Guidelines: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/guide.html > FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com > Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > > > ___________________________________ UPDATED Posting Guidelines: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/guide.html FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
