[Aref Alsouqi]

Did you reload the switch after changing the baud rate?, if not, please try to reload it and see if it works.

hello Aref 

l try boot and did not work and the message was not recognise but l follow the step till the image l load. l get  " transfer cancelled by remote system "

[Aref Alsouqi · Accepted solution]

Please try to issue "flash_init" before, then try again, if that would not fix it up, try with a smaller ios image.

Aref
