Re: how to update my IOS for 2501?
The Cisco 2500 series routers run from flash. IOS protects itself from disaster situtions and tels you READ-ONLY :-) So you can't simply erase it in normal working mode. Get in BOOT monitor and DL image from tftp server or through console's xmodem. --- WBW, xander CCNP+Voice, CCIE writting "cslx" [EMAIL PROTECTED] ÓÏÏÂÝÉÌ × ÎÏ×ÏÓÔÑÈ ÓÌÅÄÕÀÝÅÅ:8ss3i9$134$[EMAIL PROTECTED] first,I use "copy run tftp copy flash tftp" to backup and second ,I think I should erase my flash,and copy the new version IOS with "copy tftp flash" command,but I can't erase the flash,it tell me the flash is unwriteable?how can I do? and the name of the old IOS is "igs-in-l.110-4",but the name of the new IOS is "igs-p-l.111-18.bin..bi" ,I want to know what 's the diffience of the names,is the new one for IPX only or IP only?please tell me more details about the name of the IOS file which is in FLASH thanx _ FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED] _ FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: how to update my IOS for 2501?
A 2500 runs from flash so when running in the normal operating mode you can't erase the flash. You can either boot the router in boot mode(0x2101) and have full read/write capability or use the copy tftp flash option. It will prompt you to erase the flash just before it starts to copy the file. Regards, Aaron K.
