Please, could anyone help concerning an AS5300 router whose flash image was deleted. An IOS upgrade was to be carried out but it was discovered that there wasn't space on the flash to allow for two images. The flash image was deleted and as expected, the router's not coming up anymore because the reload command was also run after. Please, Help.

I agree that in your current situation the access to the 5300 is via rommon. The tftpdnld command should be available in rommon.

Assuming that you have an image copy on a TFTP server that is accessible from the 5300 I would suggest that you try the tftpdnld command (you will need to SET the appropriate parameters used by tftpdnld).

I have the IOS on a TFTP server. The problem is I can't even access the console of the 5300. when i boot into ROMMON mode and run the "dir 1" command, it comes with an error message that fills up the screen and fails to stop until i power down. Basically, I might be wrong but I think the only way to access the 5300 is via the rommon mode. thanks.

Hi Rick,
Please, how do i go about this. Aside using xmodem in rommon mode, I didn't know there was any other way. Could you help highlight or if there's a documentation I can use, I'll appreciate it.

Hi rick,
one more thing I just found out. I can't assign an IP address to the router, the interfaces are shut down and the environment variables i am supposed to get are not the same as i expected
