Error loading system image

vjvelazquez

Level 1

I recently configured a Catalyst 3560G and noticed that the ip ssh commands were not available. So I downgraded from IOS ver c3560-ipservices-mz.122-25.SEE2 to c3560-ipservicesk9-mz.122-25.SEB4. After downgrading, the ssh commands were available but I get a error message when I do a reload. Any ideas:

Please paste the output of " show flash:" " show bootvar ", if its there.It seems like the switch is unable to findout the file in the bootpath string, that's why it gave an error.

Please the config also.

Narayan,

I think the boot path was not set for the image, that's why it wasnt booting properly. Check the output of Show boot , there is not boot path list defined. I think setting the boot path using " boot system flash " command should solve the issue here. There is not need to upload the image again using Xmodem.

-amit singh

Can we use this command under the Rommon?

I've tried that several times already.

Even though you are having a 3560, it sysmptoms indicate that u r hitting the possible bug CSCef23660

Can you try uploading an IOS with a different major version and check
