Cisco Switching/Routing :: Error But Successful Boot On C3750E
May 31, 2012
I have a C3750E-24TD-S on which I just loaded new firmware. When I boot up I see this:Loading "c3750e-universalk9-mz.150-1.SE2.bin"...c3750e-universalk9-mz.150-1.SE2.bin: no such device
I am in the process of updating the software on a Catalyst 3500 series switch. I deleted the old bin file and copied over the new file via xmodem.the image I used is:
c3500xl-c3h2s-mz.120-5.WC17.bin
Once the xmodem copy is complete I performed the following sequence of steps:
File "xmodem:c3500xl-c3h2s-mz.120-5.WC17.bin" successfully copied to "flash:c350 0xl-c3h2s-mz.120-5.WC17.bin" switch: dir flash: Directory of flash:/
[code]....
The last output is where I am stuck. What am I missing?
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.
A new Cisco 3750V2 (WS-C3750V2-48PS-S) running IOS 'c3750-ipbasek9-mz.122-50.SE5.bin' waspurchased to add to a stack of 3 Cisco 3750 (WS- C3750- 48PS-S) switches. The IOS on the stacked switches is 'c3750-ipbase-mz.122-25.SEB4.bin'.I loaded this IOS on to the new Cisco 3750V2 and deleted its original IOS. Boot up failed with error 'hardware not supported by firmware'. I am now trying to follow the recovery procedure but the I can only initialise the flash (flash_init) and there is no 'boot_helper' command to load the boot helper files. There is no option to rum 'copy xmodem' so I cannot upload the original IOS image via xmodem on hyperterminal.
My question is about WS-C3750E-48TD-S and WS-C3750E-24TD-S Switches
What are the limitations of the mapping of VLANs on this device? Is it limited by number or by interface? Does the configuration of an interface has spread all interfaces ?
I have two Switches which i need to put in a same stack - WS-C3750E-48TD and WS-C3750G-48TS . Possible to do so and also which IOS to put in both the switches as WS-C3750G-48TS is having lower RAM and flash.Whether can i put following IOS in these switches and connect them in a stack as i have read that IOS -- 15.0.1. SE are compatible with both the switches.
a . c3750e-ipbasek9-mz.150-1.SE.bin in switch - WS-C3750E-48TD
b. c3750-ipbasek9-mz.150-1.SE.bin in switch -- WS-C3750G-48TS
I have a problem with Total Output Drops, it's increase and decreases on WS-C3750E-48TD-E.
SWCIACTCT05#sh int gi1/0/47 | i Total output drops: Input queue: 0/75/0/0 (size/max/drops/flushes); Total output drops: 6487344 SWCIACTCT05#sh int gi1/0/47 | i Total output drops: Input queue: 0/75/0/0 (size/max/drops/flushes); Total output drops: 6487344 SWCIACTCT05#sh int gi1/0/47 | i Total output drops: Input queue: 0/75/0/0 (size/max/drops/flushes); Total output drops: 6487344

I checked and found two registered bug id: CSCtq86186 / CSCso81660.I would like to know what is the best IOS version to update my switch, IOS 15.0.2 SE2 or 12.2.58 SE2, by the way, my environment is very critical (data center) and the version 15.0.2 SE2 is very recent, but its stable ?In both versions the problem are fixed?
7x stack WS-C3750E-48TD-E orignal code 12.2.35...i wanted to get it to 15.0.1 so as a test i disconnected top switch (not the master ) and installed via archive download-sw /allow upgrade 15.0.1.tar. and it worked away fine...
so i moved onto the stack, issued the same command, image loaded rebooted and stack hung..Consoled in and switch was unable to boot..looping on trying to load flash. [code]
As above, I got a problem with C3750e, ios c3750e-universalk9-mz.122-58.SE1.bin, when send AF41 traffic passing through it. My topolygy is as following
WAN link <----------> G0/0/2.100 - ASR1002 - G0/0/5 <---------> G1/0/1 - C3750e - G1/0/3 <--------> G0/0/1 - ASR1004
On this C3750e, I turned on mls qos, trust dscp on both G1/0/1 and G1/0/3 and no else is configured. ASR1002 G0/0/2.100, i applied the CB shaping fror AF41 traffic.
C3750e#sh mls qos QoS is enabled QoS ip packet dscp rewrite is enabled C3750e#sh mls qos int g1/0/3 GigabitEthernet1/0/3 trust state: trust dscp
[code]....
Then, from ASR1004, i send ICMP traffic with TOS set to AF41 (136) and i found out that
1. The traffic is dropped on c3750e
sh mls qos int g1/0/3 statistics GigabitEthernet1/0/3 (All statistics are in packets) 30 - 34 : 63 63 48 86 1534
2. The traffic never get hit into AF41 class in ASR1002 ? Why C3750e dropped this AF41 traffic? and what can I do to fix it?
Recently on two switches, both being same cisco WS-C3750E-24PD, running with same IOS c3750e-universalk9-mz.122-58.SE2.bin got noticed that the license state of one switch is showing incorrectly as shown below [code] I will not be able to execute any changes/modifications on switch as of now.
On cisco and am having some issues with intervlan routing. I have followed the vids and manuals but just can seem to get this working. I have the following network lab set up.
Vlan 10 = 10.70.1.9/24 Vlan 20 = 192.168.0.1/24 ME2400 firmware ROM: Bootstrap program is ME340x boot loader BOOTLDR: ME340x Boot Loader (ME340x-HBOOT-M) Version 12.2(35r)SE3, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1) [Code]...
The router 1841 is connected directly to the layer switch. the network diagram is below:
Office A --> Switch (L3) --> Router 1841 --> Internet --> Office B
However, when I transfer the file from Office A to office B, the speed very slow ( only around 40 kb/second), and there are an input error and CRC error:
Cisco-R1841#sh interfaces FA0/1 FastEthernet0/1 is up, line protocol is up Hardware is Gt96k FE, address is 0019.e02f.03dd (bia 0019.e02f.03dd)
I purchased several 1921 routers and the last two I setup get the following error during bootup:
%SYS-6-READ_BOOTFILE_FAIL: tftp://255.255.255.255/1:aaa1386.bin No usable interfaces. %SYS-6-BOOT_MESSAGES: Messages above this line are from the boot loader. %MAINBOARD_GE-3-SHUTDOWN: FPA PKT pool holding 512 particles.boot of "1:aaa1386. bin" using boot helper "usbflash0:c1900-universalk9-mz.SPA.151-4.M4.bin" failed error returned: No usable interfaces loadprog: error - on file open boot: cannot load "1:aaa1386.bin"
The router moves on and eventually comes up fine and is operational. What this error is an if I can get rid of it?
During the boot ios we found the error messages below. How can i clear this messages?
Missing or illegal ip address for variable DEFAULT_GATEWAY Using midplane macaddr Missing or illegal ip address for variable IP_ADDRESS Missing or illegal ip address for variable IP_SUBNET_MASK
I unpacked a new 3560x and went to put our standard code version on it c3560e-ipbasek9-mz.122-53.SE2. Everything seemed to upgraded fine but it won't boot to a console prompt. It seems like it loads the IOS image fine but can't get passed the Front-end Microcode IMG MGR: Programming device 0. [code]
I have a problem with my Belkin router that is ruining any online gaming experience I want to have. Any time I try to play a game on my PC, I have to deal with STRICT NAT. On my router setup page I have all security features off, UPnP is enabled, and i'm pretty sure I have my computer in a DMZ. (As far as I know a DMZ'd computer should have an Open Nat right?)When I use run>cmd>ipconfig it says my ip address is 192.168.2.2, which is the same exact thing that is in my DMZ box, but it isn't appearing to work.Does anybody have an idea how to set up a successful DMZ on a belkin router?
I cannot boot IOS, when i reload this switch it go to ROMMON. I try to uploand IOS but it still has problem. i think i may wrong some point during i did uploand.
I tried to upgrade IOS from SXI2a to SXI9 in cat 6506 VSS. But the problem is that switch always boot with old IOS. I put the new IOS in sup-bootdisk and slave sup-bootdisk, bootvar is ok with new IOS: [code] Show bootvar is ok but switch always boot with old IOS SXI2a, some bug in IOS sxi2a???, I will try to delete de old IOS from sup bootdisk and try with the new one only.
my Catalyst 3750 switch. Following a power cut the switch no longer boots up. The SYST light flashed green but no POST checks are made. I cannot see any boot messages from the console port either. The switch was on a UPS but some thing may have damaged the switch.
What would happen if I installed a 32MB (MEM870-32F=) flash upgrade card in to a Cisco 871 router that already had 28MB flash on-board already? Would the router boot seeing 52MB (the max this router can have) or would it fail completely since the combined total would be over 52MB?
I know you can get a 24MB upgrade card but they are quite expensive.
i want to boot my Router's IOS from TFTP server but when I use the command: boot system tftp c2801-adventerprisek9_ivs-mz.124-24.T7.bin 172.16.10. 200; after that I write-mem, it shows the log:
-Router#wr -Building configuration... -ROMMON: out of room in table, cannot set "BOOT"
And when I reload the router, it cannot boot IOS from TFTP Server, sure my TFTP work well and 2801 can ping to TFTP.

I have a WLSE Express 1030 which is not booting. The error is "GRUB loading, please wait... Error 17". The error is a mount error for the partition. I don't have a recovery disk and I am not authorised to download the disk.
I recently received these routers and after the first reboot I changed the user id and password so it does not lock out...After configuring my routers for installation, upon bootup I am getting this message scroll down my screen
an Aironet 1252 which is failing on boot. When power on the access-point shows the error below.
WARNING: A memory error occurred during the system start-up self-test. The device must be serviced if the error persists.
The following commands can, optionally, be used to initialize the flash file system and the TFTP file transfer system:
But when this happen, I can start the IOS manually doing flash_init and boot in ROMMON. After do this commands, the access-point starts and works normally.
How can I check and correct the memory and solve this issue?
I can see the boot file at 192.168.100.1 but I can never get into the GUI. The unit boots up, fans running. Eventually the power light flashes red. I don't have the unit hooked up to anything else except a laptop to try and configure it.
document which explians normal booting sequence in a 6500 Switch running IOS. What I am looking for is in which order the image is loaded in SUP, RP, SP etc
I have a 4503-E on my work bench. It's been out of production for a year or so. I started working on it last week. I think I may have cause a boot up problem. It comes up to ROMMON, but then I need to type "boot" to get it to come up all the way.
config-register = 0x2102Autobooting using BOOT variable specified file.....
Could not find a valid file in BOOT environment variable.BOOT variable can be set from IOS. To find currently setRom Monitor variables, please type 'set' command.
For choosing a boot method, type 'confreg' command. rommon 1 > For choosing a boot method, type 'confreg' command.rommon 1 >
At this point I type "boot" and it proceeds to the normal bootup. (Below are a couple more print outs)

It looks like there is nothing between boot-start and boot-end.
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.
System Bootstrap, Version 8.1(3) Copyright (c) 1994-2004 by cisco Systems, Inc. Testing lower main memory - data equals address
One of the 6500 was going in bootrom mode, so I have formated the flash disk using the other Cisco 6500 switch and copied IOS file to the boot disk. But the 6500 booting failed.
Customer is using SUP720 with SP rommon image version 8.1(3), he is trying to boot the new ios image from disk0, but he gets invalid magic error. he fomat the disk0 but still he gets error when he boots from disk0. He suspect that it can't be flash problem but can be software of hardware as he has two flash with same issue on 2 switches.
Customer wanted to recreate, I tried in the lab, i was able to load from disk0, but sup in lab had 8.5(4).
Customer wanted me try with 8.1(3) version. But i was unable to downgrade the SP Rommon image. SP rommon is running in Gold region and I loaded the 8.1(3) from both disk0 and sup-bootdisk, even preferrence was given to region1 but still sup came up with gold region itself.
* Will i be able to downgrade from 8.5(4) to 8.1(3), if so, what are the steps.
* is there any limitation or bug where 8.1(3) will be unable to read disk0.
