Cisco Switching/Routing :: 6509 Copy Sup Boot Flash To ATA Flash
Feb 26, 2012
Trying to copy the system image file from the sup-bootflash to a new 64MB ATA flash card. Yes the software can support the 64MB card.
The ATA flash card was formated successfully, however I cannot copy the system image to it so that it can boot after a power loss.
The command I tried was: console(enabled) copy sup-bootflash: slot0:
The source filename was typed in as shown in the Show Verison command.The result was: Error opening slot0: no such device.I suspect that I am missing something obvious as I am new to Cisco Switches.
I am trying to research the possiblity of backing up IOS and configurations from an Etherswitch module, and being able to store the files onto the Host Router's flash (3925 ISR). and then being able to recover that IOS and configuration, in case I have to replace the Etherswitch Module.
I am using TFTPD32 to upgrade the IOS on a router. When I type in the commands copy tftp flash and enter all the necessary information, the router sits for a minute or so and then times out. There is no entry made in the log when it times out. copy flash tftp yields the same result. The fa 0/0 interface and the TFTP server are both on the same subnet and can successfully ping one anothe
I have a 3550 switch that I am trying to upgrade the IOS on.I am trying to copy to a TFTP server.I am receiving a socket error.I saw that this can be fixed with
Switch#config t Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. Switch(config)#no service config Switch(config)#exit Switch# 00:13:47: %SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by console Switch#reload
I have done this 3 times to no avail.My TFTPd32 server on my pc is working fine.Here is the error
Switch#sh flas Directory of flash:/ 2 -rwx 556 Mar 1 1993 00:33:53 +00:00 vlan.dat 4 -rwx 3775 Mar 1 1993 00:37:54 +00:00 config.text 5 -rwx 24 Mar 1 1993 00:37:54 +00:00 private-config.text 6 -rwx 5687963 Mar 16 2007 01:05:23 +00:00 c3550-ipbasek9-mz.122-25.SEB4.bin 8 drwx 192 Mar 1 1993 00:04:40 +00:00 c3550-i9q3l2-mz.121-22.EA1a
I am trying to configure a switch that was given to me. They don't know the password to anything. I have already tried to recover it. The problem is, the switch doesn't load flash, or will copy flash from xmodem either. It also doesnt load the helper or boot. It is user mode and lets me do nothing. It doesnt let me use the enable command to get into it. I would like to start the config from scratch. Its a 3500xl switch, 24 ports. I dont know what to do with it. I am trying to study for my CCENT Exam and would like a switch that worked.
I have a cisco 3750 swicth which i want to load a new ios to but unfortunately there's no enough space on the flash. This means that i need to backup the cureent (old) ios to my tftp server but the command keeps failing. It always gives 'No such file or directory' error .The free space on the flash is 8mb and my new ios is about 11mb.I also went inside the directory where the old is and inputed the same copy command but to no avail.Below are some of the command failure on the swicth:
I recently posted this same issue the other day, using TFTPd32. Now i am pretty close to fixing it. I do have a different setup; my pc ethernet port is broken so I am using an ethernet/usb adapter. I am attempting to backup my IOS from a 3550 switch to my PC.
Every time I delete the directory flash and reinstall it, I get an error:
Error loading "flash:c2950-i6q4l2-mz.121-12c.EA1.bin" Error loading "flash:c2950-i6q4l2-mz.121-12c.EA1.bin" Interrupt within 5 seconds to abort boot process.
That is the message I get. It's set to NO manual boot, but it keeps making me manually boot it. I am at a loss, I've done 3 switches and they all keep doing the same thing.
i have recently tried to change the catos on a Catalyst 2948G-L3 and since then i have the following message in a loop :I know that the solution would be to download a new valid image from tftp via the rommon prompt but what i dont undertand is why i cant access the rommon prompt. It justs boots with the message above in a loop
I just got a brand new ASA 5550, i configured the port g0/0 on asa with an ip address 192.168.10.1 then configure my computer with ip 192.168.10.2 and default gateway is 192.168.10.1. I'm able to ping the asa from my computer. I remote to ASA thru the console port and try to copy iOS from flash to my pc but it doesn't work.

I have a really stupid problem with my RV042. The main logon password has expired but it will not let me change it at all. Basically I try to login but get the error 'The old password has expired. Please change the password'. But with no prompt at all for a new password and just a return to the login page. Tried various different browsers, tried the old default password but nothing will work. There seems to be no way of changing it and I cannot login.Am I missing something glaringly obvious? I really don't want to reset it to default as I have numerous VPN tunnels configured and various other settings.
I have two Routers (C1812 & C1841) each having different version of IOS images. I was wondering if its possible to copy IOS image from flash of one Router and use it to upgrade another.

I have a Cisco 7204 vxr router that does not have a valid image on the boot flash or on the pcmcia card (disk 2). I tried everything i could to try and get the router to recognize the flash but it keeps giving me a magic card error. I'm losing my mind slowly but surely.
The router boots into Rommon every time and the Rommon options for this router are horrible. No tftpdnld option. Can I get this router to boot from tftp, from Rommon?
How do I save/copy all of the router configuration entries onto a memory/flash usb drive? I did not configure the router myself (out of town when purchased). I have already downloaded the manual for that router and I want to understand exactly what she (person who configured router) did and identify any mistakes she might have made. Once downloaded, I assume I can print out all configuration settings.
I have a 3560x switch with the flash formatted . I have tried to solve the problem by copying the IOS file to the flash. But the boot failed either .I have tried to copy the same IOS by the Xmodem, The boot failed again.My question is how to fixed the boot issues after the flash was formatted?
i have recently tried to change the catos on a Catalyst 2948G-L3 and since then i have the following message in a loop : [code] I know that the solution would be to download a new valid image from tftp via the common prompt but what i don't undertand is why i cant access the rommon prompt.
I've gotten this out of our storage unit here at work: This was not in use, I've restarted it, I can't get into the flash dir,I've tried to restart the switch via the documents I've gotten on the site.I have the lastest iOS version .bin for this switch, but I can't get this to load: here below is what happens when I try.
I have received a sup720-3B from Cisco with an internal 512MB flash(sup-bootdisk). I want to verify what IOS image is on the disk and do not have an spare 6509 chasis. Can I remove the 512 MB flash disk and insert it to my disk0: on my production 6509 with the sup32 that the 720 will repplace and view what is on the disk without corrupting?
I have this 2801 in a critical environment. We had a brief power blip, and even though the router is on UPS, something happened. Anyway, after working with TAC, they determined the flash card had gone corrupt. Lucky for me I had a spare 2801 in my office, I grabbed that flash card and plugged it in and we're back up and going.
TAC sent me a new flash card. No matter what I do, I cannot get IOS to load on this thing! I am stuck in rommon. Here's what I've tried:
tftpdnld in rommon, times out. using another 2801 as a tftp-server. doesn't complete. using xmodem. ugh. never seems to get started. booting the router with a known good flash card, so I can get to ena, and "copy tftp flash".
have used tftpd32, Solar Winds TFTP server, What's Up Gold TFTP server, and open source tftp from sourceforge. With the tftp32, it always gets to exactly 73% download and then times out (it says, I have a feeling it's noty really a timeout). I have tried having the router and tftp server the only devices on a switch, i have tried the router plugged directly into the tftp server with a cross connect cable. No happiness. The open source tftp server reported (and I have to paraphrase, I am not near the router) "client does not support block number recount" or something like that. The client being the 2801.
The iOS file is about 45M. Someone asked me if the flash card was formatted...would that matter? would the tftp even start if it wasn't?
OK, I've gone on long enough. TAC is dispatching a new card AND 2801!
I want to delete the first file c2600-i-mz.122-5d in the flash. Not only delete but also reclaim the memory held by deleted file.I followed a link and i ended up with the c2600-i-mz.122-5d marked as deleted in the flash but the memory was not reclaimed.When I restarted the router, it went to ROMMON mode. This is my understanding when router tried to boot from the flash, It tried to load the first file in the flash. Since the file was marked as deleted therefore Router went to ROMMON mode.Now my question is how could I delete the first file and reclaim the memory on 2600 router?
I tired to upgrade the flash memory on my 871. I have tired to send single break and removing the flash card to drop the 871 to rommon. but no luck, all i get is the below error. I have try restart button on the back and get the same results. How to get the router into rommon mode so i can place the IOS on the flash ?
I had an issue today on a 4507r today where when I formatted the compact flash in slot0: (512mb) it caused the CPU to spike to 100% this took about 1.5 hours and did not cause adjacency loss or any thing, but was worrisome. This was a sup IV is this normal and should u let it complete like I did? Also when I copied the os to it from boot flash it caused the same behavior. I have done this a bunch in 6500 sup 720 without this issue?
I recently tried to manually format the flash on a model WS-2960S-48TS-L switch running IOS version 15.0(2)SE. While executing the operation I got the following error - mifs[8]: Failed to create superblock %Error formatting flash (I/O error).As a result the flash is no longer accessible by the switch. I spoke with Cisco and they indicated that a switch reload would remount the flash and make it accessable again but the .bin file would need to be reloaded using the xModem recovery procedure (what a pain).The next IOS version 15.0(2)SE1 will supposedly fix this bug but it has not been released yet. In the meantime if you are running 15.0(2)SE you may want to hold off performing a "format flash:" function on a 2960S.
Base ethernet MAC Address: 00:0a:b7:07:35:80Xmodem file system is available. The system has been interrupted prior to initializing theflash filesystem. The following commands will initialize the flash filesystem, and finish loading the operating system software:
I'm having an issue with a Cisco 2811 ISR Router. Sh ver command output lists the correct ios that the router used for booting and it says that the ios is stored in flash but when i give "sh flash" command it doesn't display the ios file. Maybe the flash is corrupted or damaged in some way? In the attached file is the output from the "sh ver" and "sh flash" commands.
Got a problem with my 1760 router. Bought it from ebay and booted it on today and got this error,It has 180224K/16384K bytes of memory and 2 paritions of 32768K flash.I erased both partitions and put a different version of the IOS on (still 12.4) and there is no difference, still get the errors.These aren't on any of my other 1760 routers so I assume they are linked to the problem.
