Hi Folks,
I just re-install the IOS on my router (via XMODEM) - I now want to put SDM back on the box, but I can't connect to the router with the SDM installer? I can connect via HTTP/HTTPS to the router via it's default IP address (although the page it displays is just basic info) but when I try and connect via SDM installer it's not connecting?
What do I need to do?
Cheers,

Have you referenced this doc which starts with loading IOS and then loading and configuring SDM ?

Good document, looks like what I needed accept I missed a vital step and when I hot reload my router went back to ROMMON. I guess the image I copied up didn't copy in to FLASH. What do I need to do to make sure it does?

Do you know why it went to ROMMON. It may be that your image is in flash but your configuration register is wrong - it should be 0x2102.
Try boot the router from flash ie.
boot system flash flash:

I'm not sure why (sorry), I am now at ROMMOM 7, if I do DIR I get:-
flash[0]: (read-write)
The show flash command won't work?

try "dir flash"
Do you know the image name that you loaded onto the router ?
Jon

Yes, I have the image name.
c870-advipservicesk9-mz.124-20.T1.bin
When I do dir flash I get:-
unable to stat flash/: permission denied
10-01-2008 01:32 PM
try
rommom> boot
if nothing
rommon> boot system flash flash:c870-advipservicesk9-mz.124-20.T1
Let me know

Neither of those commands worked. :(

Where did you upload image to ??
Try this
rommon> confreg 2101
then try pervious boot commands in last post.
Jon

Well, when I copied the image I used this:-
xmodem -c c870-advipservicesk9-mz.124-20.T1.bin
The image copied up OK and then I was able to configure the IOS and that's what I started to install SDM. At one point I rebooted it (power cycle) and then the image was no longer there.
Tried the 2101 it says "No bootable image file"

Okay, you said you missed an important step - what was that.
Also can you post the output of
rommon> list
Jon

Well, I'm not 100% sure the image was copied to FLASH, hence why when I power cycled the image was not there so it wouldn't boot. But I think doing confreg 0x2102 tells it to boot from FLASH ... No?
list does nothing, but ls gives me:-
List of filesystems currently registered:
flash[01]: (read/write)
Thanks for helping Jon - I'm learning a lot here :)

Yes - confreg 0x2102 tells it to boot from flash.
No bootable image sounds like we need to load another one. If you have a tftp server you can do this a lot quicker than xmodem. Here is a link to yes another doc :) for using tftp. Do you have a tftp server that you can use ?. If not i can zip a small one that will run on XP and post it here.

I have the SolarWinds TFTP Server on the same machine as I'm using to console in to the 870. I had some problems trying to connect to the server though, you have a better server?
Cheer,
M
