Cisco WAN :: 2621XM Router Will Not Boot From IOS Image
Nov 27, 2011
I've got a 2621XM that has not been used for a while.Completely stripped of any modules and configuration files, the router will continually cycle the startup process without actually booting from the IOS.
The cycle displays the following :
System Bootstrap, Version 12.2(8r) [cmong 8r], RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)
Copyright (c) 2003 by cisco Systems, Inc.
program load complete, entry point: 0x80008000, size: 0x10034ec
What I've tried:
1) Downloading another IOS image (c2600-is-mz.123-20.bin) via Xmodem and running "confreg 0x2102" from the rommon. All that did is change the last message to "program load complete, entry point: 0x80008000, size: 0x10fa95c"
2) Running the command "boot flash:c2600-is-mz.123-20.bin". If I enable the diagnostics via rommon, the cycle expands to:

If it wasn't for the lack of error messages, I would assume it was a hardware issue.If the image was corrupted, I would expect a message indicating that the image couldn't be read.
I have a cisco1841 router with 32M CF card installed.Now , i want boot a system image larger 32M from usbdisk.First i insert the 128M usb flash disk to the 1841 router and format it, then i can see the device from dir command.Second copy the larger ios image from tftp to the usb disk and successed,i can see the image with " dir usbflash0:" command.Third i use this command "boot system " ,but there is no selection of "usbflash0: " Does the cisco 1841 router boot the system image from usb disk when reboot the router.
We deploy 881G routers at our store locations and are planning to upgrade the IOS to 15.2.2. One concern we have is if the router fails to boot to the new image. Is there a way to configure a second boot image as a failover in case the primary boot image does not load? Our current DR plan is to have a laptop on site that we can connect to remotely and setup a console session to manually change the boot file. This can be cumbersome and time consuming, so I'm wondering if the 881 has the ability to have another file loaded if the boot fails.
I have an ASA 5505 that I was updating from frimware 8.04 to 8.41. Anyway, I went through the update procedure half-asleep and accidentally deleted the boot image right after I installed it (I used the CLI and put in the command del asa8*.bin then just hit enter a bunch of times, which of course means I deleted the old firmware too).
So now whenever I power up the ASA, I get the "Could not find boot file" error. Is there a guide somewhere that tells me how can upload another boot image to the ASA and set the ASA to boot it from teh ROMMON prompt?
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?
I have a cisco 6503 - e series switch which runs c6sup22-psv-mz.121-26.E4.bin. Both superviser engine and MSFC2 card run the same IOS image i guess. In my boot flash their is another image c6msfc2-jsv-mz.121-4.E1. o what is the difference between these images c6msfc2-jsv-mz.121-4.E1 and c6msfc-boot-mz.121-4.E1.
I just pulled the AP out of the box and haven't received support contracts yet. I connected the AP to the LAN and added it to my 4402 controller (version 5.2.178.0) with no problems. Once I set it the mode to H-REAP and it rebooted, it went loopy. Actually, it boots up, shows a bunch of debug info, then reboots. The console output is below. I've tried reimaging (image c1140-rcvk9w8-tar.124-21a.JA2.tar) but still have the same problem. I checked and although the controller software is old, the AP is supported.

i recently bought a new Supervisor Engine 720 WS-SUP720-3B and 48-port 10/100/1000 RJ45 EtherModule WS-X6148A-GE-45AF. Once i fired it all up i got this error %C6KPWR-SP-4-UNSUPPORTED: unsupported module in slot 2, power not allowed: Unknown Card Type. the System image file is "bootdisk:s72033-ipservicesk9_wan-mz.122-18.SXE6a.bin".
I have a 6509 up and running the same mods and working fine BUT the System image file is sup-bootdisk:s72033-ipservicesk9-mz.122-18.SXF7.bin. Is the boot image what is causing my isses?
I'm having difficult getting this switch to boot from flash. I do not understand why it is trying to load "b1" from "bs1" instead of something from flash. [code]
after upgrading IOS image to V15 on four 2960S switches: Should I make the boot loader image to match the IOS version?I never thought about this while upgrading IOS image unless there is boot issue. I googled for answer but no luck there...
I checked download section on Cisco.com for C2960S-48FPS-L switch and there is simply no boot loader image..The running boot loader is C2960S-HBOOT-M Version 12.2(55r)SEThe running IOS is: 15.0 (2) SE2.
We have Cisco 4503-E switch and software version is cat4500e-universal.SPA.03.01.01.SG.150-1.xo1.bin. Now i have uploaded cat4500e-universal.SPA.03.02.01.SG.150-2.SG1.bin IOS-XE software in the switch and want to boot the switch from this image.
I am planning to upgrade BootLoader image of 7206VXR router due to booting issue. The router is not booting .But if I go to rommon and give boot it will boot.So I am upgarding my Boot Loader image. Now the Bootloader image and IOS image are exactly same.Can I upgarde the Bootloader image to latest version without upgarding IOS?
128 compact flash got corrupted and suddenly not working after i reboot the 2801 router. now i have a new 256 compact flash and 512 compact flash but i cannot still to boot the 2801 properly. it always do looping like booting in rommon and will be the image decompress but in the end theres an error, Wrong system software for this hardware. ive tried different ios but still the same.

I have a 5010 that simply won't load any system image. Loads the kickstart image just fine, but once at the Switch(boot)# prompt just give me garbage when I enter "load bootflash:n5000-uk9.5.1.3.N2.1b.bin Restarting system.

I'm trying to login to my cisco 2621XM router. I'm using putty and I can't remember the how to cable it or the settings to use in putty. I don't have a db9 input on my pc, so I need to go through my NIC. What type of cable to use, what port to plug it into on the router, and what settings to use in Putty.
I have an old 2621xm router in CCIE lab at home. Only a week ago I started having issue on 2 of them. The problem is on one of them when I go under interface configuration and I type "no shut" nothing happens. Interface stays in administratively down status and when I check running config "shutdown" is still under interface.
On the other one the same problem but only with "router rip" command. I configure my rip routing but then when I check running config there is no rip section and also RIP is not running under "show ip protocols rip".These routers are connected to 2511 AccesServer. So I thought the issue might be communication from AccessServer to these devices. I connected a console cable straight to them and still the same problem. Everything else is working on these devices.
I have a 2621XM router that I know has reached its end of life. However, would I be able to download the 802.1q VLAN encapsulation for it? If I can, how do I go about doing it.
I am trying to recover a corrupted ios, from rommon after configure all steps of IP_ADDRESS, TFTP_SERVER and so on, copy files correctly, but after it need router 5 minutes to erase flash, or something else....after it i can not boot from ios loaded as i show below:
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! File reception completed. Copying file /c2600-advsecurityk9-mz.123-11.YZ2.bin to flash. Erasing flash at 0x61fc0000 program flash location 0x60ea0000
I'm have upgraded our ASA5510's from 7.0.8 to 8.4.3 and now I just need to do the ASDM, but get this error? The bin file has been uploaded: [code] Device Manager image set, but not a valid image file disk0:/asdm-647.bin.
i connected 2 routers 2621xm with serial and setup. but i didnt need the RIP cuz i just sent msg/packet from RT2/Laptop2 to RT1/Laptop1 and it saids SUCCESSFUL RECEIVED. so whats wrong with my 2 networks?why passed through from rt2 to rt1 without RIP configuration?
I am not sure if the issue I have is due to router's performance of my configuration. Currently I have 2621XM connected in my internal network where Fa0/1 is considered untrusted zone and Fa0/0 is considered trusted. It appears that traffic is limited to about 3.17MBps (Mega Bytes) between Fa0/0 and Fa0/1. There are ACLs on the Fa0/1 inbound and Fa0/0 inbound. I am also using ip inspect rules for the Fa0/1 outbound traffic. When I remove ip inspect policy from the Fa0/1 interface, the traffic speed bumps up to about 4.8MBps (which is about 38Mbps - Mega bits).
Each time the CPU utilization is: CPU utilization for five seconds: 99%/99%; one minute: 19%; five minutes: 4% PID Runtime(ms) Invoked uSecs 5Sec 1Min 5Min TTY Process
Access to the router during that time is veerrrryyyyyy slow! Does this mean I am hitting the maximum limit this router can handle?
I have a Cisco 2621XM router with two ethernet interfaces that sits before a vendor supplied VPN router. I need to see the IP traffic incoming to my router from the WAN side (fasteth0/1 below). I setup ip cef, and ip flow ingress on the interface. However -- it seems that what I see when I use "ip cache flow" command doesn't have a very long history or life. What commands am I missing so that I can see a summary of the stats over say the last 5, 10 or 15 minutes? Is this the best config that can be used for this, or can I create a more summarized report just using the router HW and IOS?

I am using packet tracer 5.3 version and I am trying to configure IGRP on it but it doesn't show me igrp under routing protocol selection.Router number is 2621XM.IOS version is 12.2.learn the configuration of IGRP.
I'm looking at adding a Cisco 3750-X switch running c3750e-universalk9-mz.122-55.SE1 (IP base license) into a stack of 3750-G switches running c3750-ipbasek9-mz.122-55.SE1.bin Given that the version and feature sets are the same I don't forsee any compatibility issues. Would there be any reason why a universal image wouldn't stack correctly with other switches running the single .bin file?
I started by creating a VPN - everything worked great. I assigned the DNS Servers, Domain name, WINS Server so when I connect I'm able to resolve local hostnames on the network with no problem, however, I had no internet access... I then set up a split tunnel access list. Since I've set that up, I'm now able to ping internet based addresses url... but no longer able to resolve internal host names. I can ping the ip addresses, just name resolution no longer works. [code]
