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.
Below is the config has done on my 881g but the dual NAT failover is not working.I have a easy vpn over NAT (easy vpn firewall: 10.10.10.2 behind the router).
1. After completed the config, I shut down the FastEthernet4, cleared the nat translations, found that nat translations are happening on to Cellular0 with error ( Incomplete ESP translations: 0 esp_conn=0x85A91FF0, hanging off nat entry 0x85A7D1D0)But still the easy vpn is not up as I am not able to ping the remote devices.
2. If I reboot the router then the nat translations are happening with no above error and easy vpn is up and I am able to ping the remote servers. Below is the config, what needs to be done to achieve the NAT failover and easy VPN up.

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:
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: 0x10fa95c Testing lower main memory - data equals address Testing lower main memory - checkerboard
[code]....
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 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?
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.
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 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.
We have both DSL and 3G connection to the 881G and both are up and running.There is a NAT for easy vpn device (10.10.10.2) on this router and currently pointing to DSL interface IP (206.206.206.9) ********ip nat inside source static 10.10.10.2 206.206.206.9 extendable*********
My current requirement is that NAT for easy vpn device should work on 3G if DSL link down.So how we can achive the NAT redundancy. Even when I removed the above NAT and pointing to Cellular0, I am not seeing any translations.
quick question regarding a 3G access via a cisco 881G i have a partner sim card (with the same number as the one in my mobile) iserted into the router.now i have the problem that my mobile is unreachable (line busy), is there a way to use both sims at the same time?what do i have to change in the router configuration?
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?
Have customer that we need 3G at new location. Their company is an AT&T customer.So we have got from distribution a 881G and it has a PCEX-3G-HSPA-US card with it.What do you do or need to get AT&T service on this card. You call AT&T they don't know what your talking about if you say Cisco 3G card?I don't see a SIM slot which most AT&T device have a SIM card?Is there somewhere special you have to call for these to get service? Any checklist for ordering and also configuring for AT&T?FYI, we will do DHCP with it and it will be our backup ISP on and ASA if the primary internet goes down. We will just use a 172.30.x.x addressing between the ASA Outside-Backup interface and the 881G.
I've been asked to configure an 881 with a Verizon 3G backup connection as a backup to the FE4 primary WAN connection. I've been unable to get any connectivity through 3G, and in most cases, as soon as I try to configure 3G, I lose connectivity through FE4.Currently, I don't even have FE4 connected. I'm just trying to get the 3G connection working, so then I can take it back to the office and have a functional 3G backup connection. [code]
today I received a Cisco Router 881G with PCEX-3G-HSPA-G for a customer that ordered a Router with the feature to send/receive SMS and to remotely active the 3G Internet connection through SMS. I believe that the router that meets this requirement is the Router 881G that I received today. In particular, the model is:
CISCO881G-K9
Now, I installed the router and configured the 3G link that is working properly BUT all the commands related to the SMS are completely missing. In particular, I miss the command:
cellular gsm sms send gsm sms archive path
In the following documentation I see that these commands should be available: [URL]The fact that these commands are missing sounds very strange to me since the documentation is pretty clear. Do I need to activate any license? I also upgraded tha router to the last version...
Here it is the show version of the Router:

i have a 881G and an IP SLA icmp configured. (ip sla 1). I can get the status of it by the OID:
1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.42.1.2.10.1.1.1
But, on the same router i have a track 1 for the SLA 1 and a track 2 monitoring track 1 with threshold . What i want, is to get the OID of track 2 so i can get the status of it. Which OID is that?
I have an issue regarding using cellular interface on cisco 881G. The 3G module is Aircard 504. SIMcard is working on other devices, it have obtain IP address from mobile operator. But on cisco881G it doesnt work.
I have a Cisco 881G with PCEX-HSPA-3G card for which I have successfully configured for internet. As the above one has come to end of life, we got the replacement 881G with embedded 3G modem.
I can't get Cellular 0 to use ppp encapsulation:
Router(config-if)#encapsulation ppp Cellular0: Only SLIP encapsulation supported Router(config-if)#
