hello,

What you need is a file "erasedisk622.bin" from Cisco

Power system off, wait a few seconds, power up and hit Esc to get to

monitor>

TFTP this file and it will ask you if you want to erase the disk. Say yes.

After it's done, you can then tftp the 6.3 image over, pull in the config, then upgrade to 7.0x.

That upgrade will convert the file structure and the config file. Save this new config off somewhere

Now you can upgrade to 7.22 and have 2 "flavors" of your config - old 6.3 and new 7.x

HTH, please rate it.
