gilbertthor · ‎06-09-2008

Hi,

This switch is using the CATOS for layer 2 and IOS for Layer 3, So currently the CATOS is running well but the Layer 3 in the ROMMON, pls refer to below:

rommon 1 > boot sup-slot0:c6msfc-dsv-mz.121-27b.E1.bin

an alternate boot helper program is not specified

(monitor variable "BOOTLDR" is not set)

and unable to determine first file in bootflash

loadprog: error - on file open

boot: cannot load "sup-slot0:c6msfc-dsv-mz.121-27b.E1.bin"

Is it Have any idea to boot it up.

Try the "boot slot0:c6msfc-dsv-mz.121-27b.E1.bin" command.

(dont use sup-slot0:, just slot0:)

Also, when you get the MSFC running, goto global config mode and enter the "boot system flash slot0:c6msfc-dsv-mz.121-27b.E1.bin" command to set the boot file to load automatically.

I believe the old Supervisor 1's need to have a bootloader image loaded into msfc bootflash with the corresponding boot statement to boot up correctly . Go out and get the bootloader image that goes with this version and load it into "MSFC" bootflash and set your boot statement to reflect this , "boot bootldr bootflash: , then write mem. Also your first boot statement was correct pointing sup-slot0: .
