Hi All,

I had a sudden failure in a switch 4503

It has:

- One supervisor engine: WS-X4013+TS Supervisor II-PLUS-TS

- One module(2 GBIC interfaces): WS-X4032-GB

When loading the switch, i get the following:

Autobooting using BOOT variable specified file.....

Power-on-self-test for Module 1: WS-X4013+TS

Port/Test Status: (. = Pass, F = Fail, U = Untested)

Reset Reason: PowerUp

and the output stops...

Has anyone faced the same problem?

And what other tests can I do for further troubleshooting.

Best regards,

Hi Jorjes.

Try to boot the switch just with the supervisor inserted, without the GBIC modules inserted and no other cards. If the switch does not work well, try to load the IOS again and squeeze the flash. If the switch starts to work fine, then insert the GBIC, another card and so on. By this way you could isolate the problem.

can you post a dir bootflash: from rommon or trying booting the bin file from the rommon prompt.

Initial thought is boot system statement is wrong or bad flash card.

Do you have a spare flash card?

I would start there. The reason is that I am guessing that reloads of switch are rare.
