hi!
You can "erase start" from previliged mode and restart the switch. It will bootup with default config.

thanks for ur reply,
I wrote "erase start" on EXEC mode then I entered "reload". After that switch's SYST link has been flushing(green) for 5 minutes, I dont understand what's wrong, I have unpluged and pluged the power cord, but syst link is still flushing and the switch does not work:( could u tell me what to do?

I think I am stuck in ROMMON but I am not sure, when I connect the switch with console port, only "switch:" is written on the console.
when "?" is entered those output comes
switch: ?
? -- Present list of available commands
boot -- Load and boot an executable image
cat -- Concatenate (type) file(s)
copy -- Copy a file
delete -- Delete file(s)
dir -- List files in directories
flash_init -- Initialize flash filesystem(s)
format -- Format a filesystem
fsck -- Check filesystem consistency
help -- Present list of available commands
load_helper -- Load and initialize a helper image
memory -- Present memory heap utilization information
mkdir -- Create dir(s)
more -- Concatenate (display) file(s)
rename -- Rename a file
reset -- Reset the system
rmdir -- Delete empty dir(s)
set -- Set or display environment variables
set_bs -- Set attributes on a boot sector filesystem
set_param -- Set system parameters in flash
sleep -- Pause (sleep) for a specified number of seconds
-- MORE --
trap -- Cause a software breakpoint to occur
type -- Concatenate (type) file(s)
unset -- Unset one or more environment variables
version -- Display boot loader version
when I unplug the power cord then I push the mode button and plug the power cord, after a certain time this output is appeared
switch:
Base ethernet MAC Address: 00:1e:f6:58:1d:00
Xmodem file system is available.
The password-recovery mechanism is enabled.
The system has been interrupted prior to initializing the
flash filesystem. The following commands will initialize
the flash filesystem, and finish loading the operating
system software:
flash_init
load_helper
boot
I have never seen this commands before, could u tell me the next step?

hi!
On the switch prompt, say dir flash:
if you see the ios image there, say boot flash:
this should boot it up.
For more info pls refer :

Hope this helps (pl rate if it does)

if the switch is stuck in "Rommon " mode when you see through the console, probably it is not finding the boot image. See with dir slot0: or dir bootdisk: and once you get the image name, say boot bootdisk:

I typed
switch: dir slot0
unable to stat slot0/: no such device
switch: dir
List of filesystems currently registered:
flash[0]: (read-write)
xmodem[1]: (read-only)
null[2]: (read-write)
switch: boot bootdisk:flash (and tried with xmodem and null)
Loading "bootdisk:flash"...bootdisk:flash: no such device
Error loading "bootdisk:flash"
Interrupt within 5 seconds to abort boot process.
Boot process failed...
switch: help boot
Usage for "boot" is:
boot [-n|-j] [-p] [-c] [-f] [-i] [-m] [-notnd] [-notni] [-post] [-skip_post]
[-reserve_mem <1-15>] [-no_esp_keepalive] [
I dont know what to do now, could u tell me what should I do ?
thank u so much for your helps

Do a "dir flash: and see if there is any image in there. If there is issue a "boot flash:
06-26-2008 03:22 AM
I did it
switch: dir flash:
Directory of flash:/
32513024 bytes available (1024 bytes used)
there is no any image file. so what do I have to do ? I think I need to download 2960 IOS and load to switch, do u know where can I download 2960 IOS
