Cisco Switching/Routing :: 4507R+E - Access ROMmon Mode Of Crushed SUP When Switch Running Through Second One
Oct 21, 2012
I have one cisco 4507R+E.My question is if the IOS of the acive SUP crushed and the switch is running through it's second SUP then how to restore the IOS of the first SUP.Also how to access the ROMON mode of the crushed SUP when switch is running through second SUP.
I have a 3550 switch that was replaced at a remote site with no IOS. This is a switch not a router so tftpdnld does not work.
[Code]...
The problem is the switches interface never comes up so try to connect to the tftp server. I read on google it can't be done on a switch to copy from tftp to flash in rommon mode on a switch and to use XMODEM. My problem is I do not have access to it, I ssh into a 3640 which is an access server for all devices and that is how I have console to it, how to use XMODEM over ssh.
But I'm fairly certain that there has to be a way to just copy it from tftp? I have a 3550 local and when I put it in rommon mode it stops the port check at port, port 1 goes from green when you plug it in to off then port 2 changes to amber and the rest green. So just by the look of this I would believe tftp would work; you just need to use port 1.
We have a cisco catalyst 6509 with Supervisor Engine . After power outage, the switch always start in Rommon mode. Configuration register is 0X2102, we want to it always start in normal mode. What should i do?
I'm currently pursuing to take my CCNA and am currently studying for it, but have recently encountered a problem with one of my 1760 routers that I can not solve.Yesterday I went to boot up my router like normal, however when I went into hyperterminal I noticed the router was in Rommon mode. Thinking I could change the configuration registry, I tried to bypass the NVRAM by using confreg 0x2142. However this still causes the router to go into Rommon mode. I am getting an error that states that there is insufficient memory to load the IOS image. [code]
I have used the dir flash: command and can see the IOS image, and try to boot from it (boot flash:iosimagename) but it will still go back into rommon mode. I also just swapped the RAM from my other 1760 into this 1760 and it booted up and went into normal configuraiton mode without any issues. However, the other router now will not load it's IOS image and I get the exact same error.I'm at a loss here, and have searched to figure out where or how I can just wipe the router clean to try and start fresh, but cannot get out or Rommon mode. The only thing I can think of is that the RAM went bad since it wont boot up either machine.
Why rpr is the only available redundancy mode option available to me. I'm running a 4507R+E with twin SUP7-E's.

I have 6509 E. Actually what happen it last 3-4 times it reload its self and got stuck in rommon mode, i tried to boot it with boot by connecting a console cable on supervisor 720 2b. What and where is problem and why is stuck in rommon after reload.
I have a Catalyst 4506e that works fine but if reload, it boots in rommon mode. I can start it with a boot command, but by default, i must type a command. My config-register is 0x2102.
I have a 512MB USB Flash device and was able to boot the IOS on the C2960 from it.After that i tried to Copy the IOS file from the USB to the system flash, but it could not find the USB Device.At plugging in the device the systems tells me: "Transfer type 2 not supported" I configured the USB device in NTFS and FAT both are able to boot with the ROMMON, but the normal system does not accept them and i know i can do the copy over a TFTP from my laptop, but it is strange that rommon accepts the usb device and the system does not?
I need to add another SUP engine on Cat 4507R switch, with a new one. I have old SUP engine running in this switch. Sometime this switch is reloaded without any reason. So we want to add another sup engine for redundancy. What is the procedure to do this & also how much outage time would it cause? Which sup engine will be run as primary and which one should be redundancy?

I'm in the process of upgrading my 4507R core to a new 4507R-E. The old switch has Sup IV engines (WS-X4515) running IOS 12.2(40)SG and the new switch has Sup 6L-E engines running 15.1(2)SG. I'm trying to "move" my configuration from the old switch to the new. Below shows the commands configured in the old switch. I'm trying to determine how to implement the same configuration on the new switch since these commands are no longer available.
last day i went to one client for the installation of C(WS-C4507R+E)
current ios :cat4500e-ipbase-mz.122-53.SG2.bin
there is only one sup engine installed and redundant slot is empty.
I installed one ethernet module in the slot 6 and it get detected working fine. I also want to install one fiber module but that module is only supported by 12.2 54 sg or later ios version.so i need an ios upgrade.
For the ios upgrade I decide to do it through svi interface For that i igive an ip address to vlan 1 (192.168.1.2) and plug cable in gigabit 6/1 and added that port into valn 1.
my laptop's ip is 192.168.1.1 @ this point i faced a rare problem the PING IS NOT WORKING.(switch is directly connected to my laptop).
Then i create another VLAN (2) and add that port into vlan 2 still ping is not getting.last thing i tried is that making that gigabit port into a routed port and result is same.
I am trying to configure a 3500XL switch (and I know its old). I get to the int fa 0/1 line and thats where it all stops working.
switch#(config-if)#switch port mode access switch#copy run start or switch#(config-if)#switch port mode access switch#sh run int fa 0/1
It will show the configuration for port fa 0/1 as if I hadn't entered the "switch port mode access" command. Or any other command for that matter. Why the switch is not holding configuration and seemingly loses it as soon as you exit out of each interface?
i have a Cisco 6513 it is used one, i have tryed to boot it but it did not work, it alwayes go to rommon mode and i am not able to know what is the issue,
when it boot i get the below outpot from the switch.

We made an IOS doBlades on switch 4507R keep block after an IOS downgradewngrade. Before to do it, the equipment comes with blades 1, 2, 3, 4 and we insert "X4418" and "X4548" on blades 5 and 6.[code]
After we made an IOS downgrade to a cisco 4507R from "cat4500e-ipbasek9-mz.122-54.SG.bin" to "cat4500e-entservicesk9-mz.122-53.SG2.bin" (comes with a redundancy supervisor blade WS-X45-SUP6L-E) the standby supervisor keep disable.We tried with the command "Switch(config)#boot system flash cat4500e-entservicesk9-mz.122-53.SG2.bin" then save configuration and "reload" comand but the switch runs with the "...54.SG.bin" IOS.
We erase the configuration with the command "erase/all non-default", before to apply the reload command insert the "entservicesk9-mz. 122- 53. SG2.bin" using the tftp command.The standby supervisory remains on disable state but the active supervisory runs with the desire IOS. In order to downgrade the IOS to the standby supervisory the active supervisore was removed temporarely (previously the switch was off) to make the standby as active, after that made the same procedure with command "erase/all non-default", "copy tftp://(....122-53.SG2.bin), and "reload" command.
The switch was off and re-insert the active supervisory and turn on the switch, after we made the procedure the blade "WS-X4548-RJ45" marks a fault as follows: [code]
The blades were reset but don't have access to them.
I read quite a few documents on configuring SPAN on a cisco switch but none of them mention any limitations or any kind of CPU load it can have on a switch. I need to configure this on one of our switches and would like to know if there are any implications related to SPAN.
We are using CISCO 4507R-E switch as our core/distribution switch. Out of the 7 available slots, 3 are currently being used. Descriptions is as follows:
Slot 1: 6 Port Fiber Line Card
Slot 2: 6 Port Fiber Line Card
Slot 3: Supervisor Engine
Slot 4: Empty
Slot 5: 48 Port Copper Line Card
Slot 6: Empty
Slot 7: Empty
We want to add extra 10 Gbps fiber links (approximately 12) using slot 6 and 7.
We got a switch issue here for 4507R-E with two sup6l-e supervisor running sso redudant. and we found that sometimes client can't ping through the local vlan ip add on the switch , can't logon the cli by telnet too. In the direct connected network device such as access switch and ASA , can't ping or telnet the 4507R too. when we made a forceswitch to sso standby supervisor from console , the problem solve and everything get fine . after that, we switch angin back to the origin supervisor , fine too.
before we made the supervisor forceswitch , we had check the system cpu usage is 15 - 20 % from console . also we had creat a new vlan 200, attach the notebook to 4507's vlan 200 port , the notebook can't ping or telnet the vlan 200 ip interface too.
I'm working at a company that has several 6509 switches running CatOS. They have two of the 6509's running in vtp server mode and the rest as clients. I set up a new vlan from one of the vtp servers and it propagated out. The problem comes when I try to assign a port on one of the vtp clients to this new vlan. It gives me an error that the switch must be in vtp server mode to add/delete vlans. I'm not trying to add/or delete a vlan just trying to add a port into an existing vlan. I'm hesitant to put the switch in vtp server mode. Is this a CatOS thing or is there a specific command to accomplish this?
I am looking to replace the active supervisor (S720-10G) on our 6509E running in SSO mode. The new module already has the same IOs version as the standby supervisor.Once I have swapped the module how do I know that the config has sync'd correctly other than checking the logs? Is it a case of looking at the "Redundancy Mode (Operational)" state and ensuring is says SSO?Also, is there a command that will force a config-sync if it is running in a mode other than SSO?
I'm configuring a console server for configuring remote devices. This is working well except for the fact that if a target device is in ROMMON mode, the console server refuses to displays the target device console. It does open the connection but the ROMMON prompt is not shown on the console server . This is essential for this device as we will need to use it to reset passwords remotely and thus need to be able to access ROMMON mode from the console server.
Parts used are a 2951 router and a HWIC-8A serial card. Posted my config below:
I have a Catalyst 4510 that is running IOS version 15.X that has a bug and Cisco recommends upgrading the IOS. Are there additional steps required to perform an IOS upgrade due to licencing Cisco put in place?
Need your expert input in sorting out the below problem.I have a cisco 6513 switch which is going into SP mode after a reboot whci i have done during BCP activity in my organization.Below are the log for your reference.
I have a requirement to guarantee 100Mb of bandwidth over my WAN for a particular protocol.I've noticed on the 4507R (running 12.2(54)) that I am unable to config a class-map with "match port" (my protocol is not listed so i cant use match protocol").
So instead I've created an ACL with the source of the traffic I wish to guarantee. Next, I've created a policy-map, only to find that I am unable to specify "bandwidth".
tell me how I could create a QOS profile, on a 4507R with SupIVs running 12.2(54), in order to guarantee 100Mb to a specific subnet (or vlan, or ideally specific protocol).
We have two 6500 core switches and one(primary) of them is running in VTP transparesnt mode and the other (secondary) one is running in VTP client mode. I would like to change the VTP mode of the second switch to transparent mode. Would it cause any issue. I guess i have to create VLANs onto the switch.
I have found that the Catalyst 2955 series switches do not use an external MODE button for getting a switch into the switch: prompt, but they use a break sequence like routers do to get into Rommon state URL
So I was wondering if there is a similar mecanism that applies to other kind of Catalyst switches, like 2960, 3560 or 3750.
