Im trying to get into Rommon, Im reading thats the BREAK button, which im assuming obviously its the pause/break button on my keyboard, im pressing it till my finger turns blue a billion times and still no rommon noodles for me.
View 3 RepliesI have a Cisco 2610XM (256MB DRAM / 48MB FLASH) set up as a WAN router, routing from FA 1/0 to FA 0/0 FA 1/0 is a dhcp client and FA 0/0 is a dhcp pool server.Everything works fine except my router is capping out at about 8MB/s download speed.This would be fine except i have a 16Mb/s internet connectionIs this just the router hardware bottlenecking? or a configuration issue?Either way could you let me know how to solve this?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have just purchased a used 2610XM router for use at home for preparing for the CCNA Security certification.The router came with IOS 12.2xxx.
I've been told that in order to get SDM, which is a big part of the cert test, I need to upgrade to 12.4xxx IOS.I've purused the Cisco site looking for the correct IOS, but there are multiple versions of the 12.4 IOS.
My question is this: which flavor of 12.4 IOS should I d/l?? And does SDM come incorporated WITHIN the IOS, or is that a separate d/l?
I`m having problem with booting Cisco router 2610 and I`m having this message :
C2600 platform with 131072 Kbytes of main memory
Program load complete, entry point: 0x80008000, size 0x439138

After that, I can't type any thing?
I've a home lab which consists of three 2610xm routers and I have configured two routers back to back with FR subinterfaces. The commands are used are;
R1
frame relay switching
int s0/0
encap FR
no sh
clock rate 64000
frame-relay intf-type dce
[code].....
Everything works great with this config and I know how to configure without lmi too. My question is more for the CCNA exam and fill the gaps in so to speak. The question is when you configure FR with static mappings and inverse arp do you need actual frame relay switches on the other side of the link or can I configure on my home labs routers. I know I am gonna try and configure this as well, but can I configure multipoint on my third router with a different physical interface. Like R1 with s0/0 to R2 s0/0 and R1 s0/1 to R3 s0/0 with subinterfaces.
clarify if the NM-1FE2W or NM-2FE2W will work in the 2610XM? These two pages seems to contradict each other:

I've an option on some 2610XM's cheap for my lab, but I need to have 2FE ports in each. Some people have told me the NM-1FE2W and NM-2FE2W will work in the XM's and some others have said they wont!
I'm having a little trouble with a router I have got my hands on to practice for my CCNA.Im connected via serial>USB adapter and via XP HT on Win7. Router boots and I then break the boot sequence with ctrl-break. But then it does not go into ROMMON mode. It simply says this:

How I get it into ROMMON to reset the password on it.
I do not have a cross over cable and have to use xmodem. I set the baud rate to 115200 and I can see everything fine. Using Tera Term when you send the file via xmodem it freezes and closes on packet #3 or about 384 bits. When simply clicking the send file button you get the error-
*** Reserved LVL 7 Interrupt ***
PC = 0xfff0bc98, Vector = 0x500, SP = 0x80004c4c
Not sure what to do from here. I have tried everything.Error you get when you boot the router:

Cisco router 3945 when unpacked from the box and powered on , it was not able to find boot loader image and booted in ROMMON mode. tried to boot from the external flash and tftp but still not able to.
We replaced router chassis 2 times and both the times faced the same problem.
I have one problem in my Client end router cisco 1841.
Everyday we switch on the router it will automatically goes to ROMMON mode.
So i take remotly and check wheather the IOS is corrupted or not.
So i use the command dir flash: to check IOS is available or not. i found the IOS is there.But it is not boot from IOS.
So i use the coomand boot xxxx.bin to boot from IOS.and finally it booted.
They told to use the coomand confreg in the ROMMON mode.
I cleared the flash (disk0) on my ASA and now I'm unable to restore it with an IOS.
When I attempt to load it with an IOS, it appears to load just fine. It even proceeds to restart, but when it boots back up it displays the error "No images in / Error 15: File not found. unable to boot an image" and goes to ROMMON.
My computer's IP is 10.0.0.1. I'm assigning the ASA 10.0.0.254. The image filename is asa724-k8.bin. Here's the output of the environmental variables and the attempted loading of the IOS:

No response on console but the led lights seems to be normal.I tried removing the CF then turn it on again to see if the router will go to rommon but didn't happen.

I think that my rommon image has become corrupt as it will not take a new IOS image. I have tried several images that are within the recommended size and work with another 2620 with exactly the same specification also some commands that are available are not recognised when typed
View 7 Replies View RelatedThis question is about a Cisco 871, which has no bootable image in flash.The device is currently in rommon, and i am attempting to copy the correct .bin file over from usbflash0: but recieve the following error:unable to stat usbflash0:/: permission denied ?i get the same error if i try to boot from usb, or even try to view the directory.Config register is currently set to 0x2102?

View 5 Replies View Related I'm trying to upgrade the ASR 1002 we just purchased and am having some issues (this is a new device and is not in service). I first tried upgrading the ROMMON using the upgrade rom-monitor filename bootflash:asr1000-rommon.150-1r.S.pkg all command, but the upgrade didn't seem to work completely. When I do a sh platform I get the below output showing 15.0(1r)S: [code]

I've also tried upgrading the IOS, but that is not working either. I tried "boot system flash:asr1000rp1-advipservicesk9.03.02.00.S.151-1.S.bin" command, but that did not work. I made sure the image was good using the "verify" command and made sure to set "config-register 0x2102". After I do a wr me and reload the router I get the below errors. [code]

I turned on the router manually and turn it back on hoping that it will work but it brought me back to rommon.
When my ASA5505 starts it loads into rommon. I enter "boot" and everything boots fine. How do I make that load by default whenever it starts. Any correct command syntax to make that happen ?

I have a Cat6506. There were 2 Sup 720 in it for redundancy. They told me they had problems with this thing in the past needing to go out and reboot the machine. I need to go out periodically because it goes into ROMMON. I type boot and it comes back up. One time though neither one would reboot. I had to take a third one out there and reconfigure it. Now it is starting to do the same thing. One thing I did notice is they never connected it to an UPS. It is plugged strait into the wall with power going to two outlets. I am beginning to think there are spikes in the power occurring and this is sending it into ROMMON.
View 6 Replies View Relatedwe have 55 of the 1841 routers here, and one of them always boots to ROMMON from a very cold (down 1 hour or more) start. The image on all 55 is c1841-ipbasek9-mz.124-24.T4.bin. 32 MB Cisco brand flash. Here's what's been done thus far:In ROMMON changed to 0x2102. Then 'reset' and the image boots fine. Change config-reg to 0x2102. Save config. Reload and image boots fine again. Wait an hour or more and boots to ROMMON.Boot from ROMMON to USBflash0: Format the CF then copy over the bin file. Change to 0x2102 and save. Reload and image boots fine again. Wait an hour or more and boots to ROMMON.Swapped CF with another unit. Again, works fine to reload, but shut down and restart an hour or more later and boots to ROMMON. Format this CF and copy over image while on router. Image boots fine. Wait an hour or more and boots to ROMMON.In each case of very cold start the configuration register has reverted to 0x0 {why it boots to ROMMON}Tried dx mode with 0x8001. Nothing seen that is unusual to me, but I'm not an expert by any means.It doesn't seem to a CF card problem, but could be a connection to the CF card and then something behind that.

On new 1841 Testing Router, I deleted the flash & did the reload. After reloading, instantly I entered into the Rommon mode. I have a backup of the flash in my TFTP Server, which is connected to the 1841 Router. how can I restore my flash file into my 1841 Router. I can not get myself out of Rommon mode. I also now even can not ping the TFTP Server as well. Do I have to configure in the Rommon mode ?

Pushing MODE button, doesn't get me in to ROMmon, this works for all the other switches.On a normal 3560 it takes around 40 seconds before I get in to ROMmon. With this faulty switch it stops after 18 seconds(solid green) and it doesnt respond.
I have a rare case. switch 6500 make crash and go to rommon. when review the crash appear that the switch charge the configuration from nvram, but, at the ending there are a few line command, that make the switch go to crash.. then I have to booting from rommon and start again. I use the version 12.2.33.sxi9 and 12.2.sxi3 and the configregister is 0x2102
I think that the switch get the startup-config file from other file-system.
