how do I format a 2600 flash? [7:4111]
Hey all: Wonder if anybody can help me with this problem: I got a 2610 with, apparently, an unformatted flash. For example, when I boot it, I get this: System Bootstrap, Version 11.3(2)XA4, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1) Copyright (c) 1999 by cisco Systems, Inc.

upgrade IOS through console port! But I am no sure if the 2600 can boot up with only 8M DRAM.

Re: how do I format a 2600 flash? [7:4111]
I've never had to format my flash for 2600s when I upgrade. I put it in,
the router boots to rommon> mode and I either tftp it up, or like yesterday
when my wireless link wasn't doing so hot (base was in someone's cubicle, I
was out in the warehouse in the network closet), so I had to bump the
console port to 115K and xmodem it up (10mbit file, bleh).
Once the router has the image in memory (which tells you your DRAM must be
larger than your image in order to upload it), it will erase the flash
("format" I guess), and then write it.
I'm guessing you've got the wrong part.
Hmm, I've got a ton of 8mb flash and a even some DRAM from all these 2600
upgrades I've been doing lately... I should ebay 'em. Gotta wait until
tomorrow so I can hook up the scanner (Mother's Day gift). It's great when
your Wife likes techno-stuff so you get combo gifts that benefit you as well
(goes over better than getting her a vacuum or ironing board, hehee!). Of
course, this is in addition to a Mother's ring she deserves ;-)
Here's a template I did for a customer that had 50 2621's to roll out:
!!!
!! xmodem upload (slow):
confreg
! set modem to 7 = 115200
reset
! change terminal software to 115200 baud
xmodem -c c2600-d-mz.120-7.XK2.bin
! transmit file via xmodem with CRC
! when done, be sure to set speed back with:
enable
conf t
line con 0
speed 9600
! change terminal software to 9600 baud
end
wr m
!!!
!! TFTP upload (fast):
IP_ADDRESS=192.0.0.254
IP_SUBNET_MASK=255.255.255.0
DEFAULT_GATEWAY=192.0.0.1
TFTP_SERVER=192.0.0.253
TFTP_FILE=c2600-d-mz.120-7.XK2.bin
TFTP_VERBOSE=2
tftpdnld
y
! wait 3-4 minutes to return to rommon prompt
reset
