Hi every budy,

This is my first message in this forum,I hope you can help me to fix my BR problem.

my Aironet 1310 runing now with c1310-k9w7-tar.12.3(2)JA2 and it's restart by itself(for me no problem with restarting but the problem it's return to ROM so I lose all my configurations !) some time every 2 0r 3 days some time it can be up for a week, I heard that the new software version 12.3(7) is more stable but can't find it !! next is the begining of the Tect-Support file :

ROM: Bootstrap program is C1310 boot loader

BOOTLDR: C1310 Boot Loader (C1310-BOOT-M) Version 12.3(2)JA3, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc2)

bridge uptime is 1 day, 1 hour, 55 minutes

System returned to ROM by unknown reload cause - reason ptr 0xF, PC 0x416EB4, address 0x0

System image file is "flash:/c1310-k9w7-mx./c1310-k9w7-mx."

I read next cisco help file but no solution the file name is (Cisco − Less Common Types of System Crashes).

My Regards

Hi,

Setup a TFTP server on your PC (you can download a really nice one from here:

http://tftpd32.jounin.net/

Very compact, does DHCP and other stuff as well. Get the TFTP server running and pointed at the directory where the image file is and make sure it's listening on the correct wired ethernet IP address of your PC (if you have multiple network cards).

From your web browser, ENABLE POPUPS!!! Very important or the upgrade won't work! Connect to the bridge, go to the System Software > Software Upgrade section. Click the TFTP Upgrade tab. Enter the IP address of your PC and the file name of the image file including the extention (no need to enter a path if you've set the TFTP server to point to the directory containing the image) and click the Upgrade button. You should see activity on the TFTP server as it uploads the image, it's a 2 step process. After the upgrade the bridge will reboot, when it comes back up check the firmware version, should be all done!

Hi,

thank you andrew, but still can't make it maybe something wrong with tftp server setting !please next my tftp server setting:

current directory :D:\Documents and Settings\Saher\Desktop\tftpd32.280

the image file(c1310-k9w7-tar.123-7.JA1) is in root of tftp directory

Server Interface: 192.168.20.99 subnet mask 255.255.255.0 (it's ip of my pc ethernet card)

BVI1 ip : 192.168.20.100 subnet mask 255.255.255.0

dot11radio interface0 no ip

ethernet interface no ip

am I right? is there a special setting for tftp server ? can you give me an example ? please

also I can use hyper terminal if you give me the right cli to use because I used next command but not worked ! ( archive download-sw /overwrite /reload

tftp:[[//location]/directory]/image-name ).

Thank you in advance

Hi Mates,

Please, can use hyper terminal to upgrade my BR1310 firmware can you give me the right cli to use because I used next command but not worked ! ( archive download-sw /overwrite /reload

tftp:[[//location]/directory]/image-name ).

Please read here product review from netprow team http://forum.cisco.com/eforum/servlet/NetProf?page=netprof&type=PR&CommCmd=MB%3Fcmd%3Ddisplay_location%26location%3D.1dd9cdfd

I read there " Any specific caveats you’d like to share about the product?

Some earlier versions of IOS software for the 1300s are affected by bugs, so I would advise to first read the release notes available at cisco.com ,before using those versions of software. One such caveat that I came across was for a client who had two 1300 bridges in a point-to-point configuration, the bridges lose connectivity after a power outage or when the bridges are rebooted. This was a bug in the IOS and causes a bridge parameter called CCA (Clear Channel Assessment) which gets set to zero after a reboot of the bridge. This bug has been fixed in IOS versions starting with 12.3.2JA and above."

this is very similar or exactly my problem but my br1310 is runing with 12.3(2)JA2 !!!

Thank you in advance

You could also use telnet to get access to the CLI.

(Windows: Start/Run, type cmd or command, telnet 192.168.20.100)

With the IP setup you posted above and assuming you

didn't rename the image you downloaded from cisco.com,

the following should work:

bridge# archive download-sw tftp://192.168.20.99/c1310-k9w7-tar.123-7.JA1.tar

You only need /overwrite if you want to download the same version again, Instead of /reload you can also

enter "reload" on the CLI after the download finished

successfully.

To test your tftp-setup try saving the config to the

tftp-server:

bridge# copy running-config tftp://192.168.20.99/

(Acknowledge IP and filename by hitting return)

There should be a file "running-config" on the

tftp-server in the same directory as the image now.

If this doesn't work, post the output from "show flash"

The flash file system is completely full from the

crash dumps. Remove those with the following CLI command:

bridge# delete /force flash:crashinfo*

(Confirm by hitting return)

Then try the update again.

s.abubasheer · ‎12-28-2005

Hi kka,

Thank you so so much, you and all guys try to help me, I pass this problem and update my br1310 successfuly

my best wishes for you and all other peopel with a happy new year .

mheusinger · ‎12-30-2005

Hi,

you need to free some space on the flash. I would recommend to delete all the "crashinfo_*" files. They are something like a core dump but not needed for normal operation. Be careful however not to delete the other files so far.

(delete flash:// crashinfo_20020301-225948 should do it. repeat for the other crash files).

In case you want to keep them you could still copy them to your TFTP server before.

Then perform a show flash again and check, wether there is enough space available for the new imae before downloading.

Hope this helps

Martin

Hi,

next is what I get when I try to save entries in the configuration file.

bridge>enable

bridge#copy running-config startup-config

Destination filename [startup-config]?

Building configuration...

nv_done: unable to open "flash:/config.txt.new"

nv_done: unable to open "flash:/private-multiple-fs.new"[OK]

bridge#

kka · ‎01-22-2006

Most likely your flash file-system is full (again).

If you find a lot of crashinfo_* files in the output from "show flash:"

remove them with "delete /force flash:crashinfo*".

Then you should be able to save your config with "copy run start".

Every "crash" writes a file crashinfo_* after the reboot to flash:

Unless you can open a SR with the TAC they are useless.

You can disable the writing of the crashinfo files with the

following command:

no exception crashinfo

s.abubasheer · ‎01-23-2006
