Hey mate...

Much better way to do this is with TFTP.

Especially with the size of IOS images these days.

Give this one a go.

Hello,

Please try the following:

xmodem -r "image name"

or

xmodem -r

This will load the image to the RAM and will boot the router. Then you can

perform regular TFTP process.

If it is possible, you can also try TFTPdnld process.

If nothing works, if you have a spare router that takes the flash card, put

the card in that router, copy the image through normal TFTP process and then

put the flash card back in the router is question.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

NT

Dear Nagaraj

Thanks for your replay and its more helpfull to me. but im try with xmodem -c and fileneme its working now i can load the image. but in this process i got one more problem.

if you konw could you please tell me.

i.e. if i tring to load though tftpdnld its showing pre-configured ip address and tftp file name. im tring to download that one but its belongs to 2851 image file name. so im tring to change with set commands. but i didnt.

so my question is how to change the ip settings in cisco 2821 router on rommon mode

see the procedure on which also works for most cisco device:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/routers/ps259/products_tech_note09186a008015bf9e.shtml

rommon's SET shows you the current values.

to change them, write

variable-name=vlaue

No spaces before or after the = .

Example from the URL above:

          rommon 16 > IP_ADDRESS=171.68.171.0
     rommon 17 > IP_SUBNET_MASK=255.255.254.0
     rommon 18 > DEFAULT_GATEWAY=171.68.170.3
     rommon 19 > TFTP_SERVER=171.69.1.129
     rommon 20 > TFTP_FILE=c2600-is-mz.113-2.0.3.Q
     rommon 21 > tftpdnld

No, you cannt ping the device, it's just used for tftp .

If tftp-server and device are on the same (V)-LAN, you may set DEFAULT_GATEWAY to the ip-address of the TFTP_SERVER.

Be sure only to give the switch the image;

not the .tar file with the webby-devices-management. You can load this later when IOS is running

by "archive tar /xtract URL flash: "

Hope this help's,

Juergen.

Got another option for you ...

Your router has a CF slot. Put the IOS into a CF and replace it.
