I have a 2801 primary rotuer with corrupt IOS.I'm trying to get this setup in rmon so I can ull an image from connected tftp server on another network.I have set it up but keep getting the same arp error.

ARP: address resolution for 198.249.243.125 timed out.
ARP failed with failure code 1. TFTP transfer aborted.
.125 is the backup router with an attached internet connection which is up on all interfaces.
.126 is the down 2801.
I suspect this may have to do with the fact this router has two fa interfaces and rmon may be config'ing the wrong one.
I am sure the down router has a physical connection to switch.This was all up and running before IOS got corrupted.
Noticed also that from .125 router I cannot ping .126 which again leads me to believe it's not initializing the right
FA port.There are no rmon options to delect a specific FA port.
This is how it was configured just before IOS was corrupted.

so why am I getting this ARP error ?
