3750x Management Port - No Connection in SWITCH: mode

michael.lorincz · ‎06-20-2012

Hi Guys,

I'm trying to get an IP_ADDR set on the management port in SWITCH: mode but for some reason the port seems disabled. PC shows connection unplugged. MGMT_INIT is not a valid command (not listed under '?' ). Bootloader version is 12.2(53R)SE2 FC1. Any ideas?

Regards,

Mike

Thanks for the reply Reza. I should have clarified I'm in recovery mode (assume no IOS). The port works in the CLI but not in rommon/switch: mode.

Mike,

If you are in recovery mode, than this is not going to work. You would need to use Xmodem to load a new version of IOS.

once the IOS is completely loaded than you can use the Ethernet port.

I'm certain it's possible

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/catalyst3750x_3560x/software/release/12.2_55_se/configuration/guide/swtrbl.html#wp1099467

I just checked the same doc for 12.2(53)SE2 and it's in there. I don't know why I can't see the port in rommon

xmodem will work but management port speeds are much nicer
