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
