You might have the wrong part number.

When we buy Flash, we have to check for PART number as well. I only checked for 2600 FLASH memory. How can i confirm that. Kindly help -

Jenn!

what was inside this router was -

SMART SMT 732C2000AS 12 PCF 199071523

where can i see ? Iam not sure

!

I tired loading the previous flash, its giving thsi error

rommon 1 > dir flash:

device does not contain a valid magic number

dir: cannot open device "flash:"

rommon 2 >

as usual on this forum nothing gets resolved. 

 

My flash came with the router and its doing the error

Error, insufficient flash installed to load image.

No what?
