Hi every budy,

This is my first message in this forum,I hope you can help me to fix my BR problem.

my Aironet 1310 runing now with c1310-k9w7-tar.12.3(2)JA2 and it's restart by itself(for me no problem with restarting but the problem it's return to ROM so I lose all my configurations !) some time every 2 0r 3 days some time it can be up for a week, I heard that the new software version 12.3(7) is more stable but can't find it !! next is the begining of the Tect-Support file :

ROM: Bootstrap program is C1310 boot loader

BOOTLDR: C1310 Boot Loader (C1310-BOOT-M) Version 12.3(2)JA3, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc2)

bridge uptime is 1 day, 1 hour, 55 minutes

System returned to ROM by unknown reload cause - reason ptr 0xF, PC 0x416EB4, address 0x0

System image file is "flash:/c1310-k9w7-mx./c1310-k9w7-mx."

I read next cisco help file but no solution the file name is (Cisco − Less Common Types of System Crashes).

My Regards

If a bridge operates properly for months and suddenly starts to reload every 20 minutes, the problem is most likely a hardware issue. If the bridge starts to crash after a configuration change, then the problem is probably software-related.

For some mysterious cause Ciscos customers cant download upgrades anymore for this product without having a support agreement/deal! Do the weatherproof housing of the 1310 justify this? From my point of view the differences between the 1200 and 1300 series are minor except the housing, or im i wrong?

sorvarit — Mon, 31 Oct 2005 15:36:02 GMT

Well it now seems possible to download IOS updates for this product. Hurray! Or was it a glipse? Anyway, i could do it today.

You must register first at CCO, so go to downloads and accept you will not do something bad or export this lethal weapon of electronics to evil states;)

Hello,

you might want to try the 'overwrite' option when you download the image:

archive download-sw /overwrite /reload tftp:[[//location]/directory]/image-name

By the way, and with regard to your 1310 reloading, can you post the output of 'show stacks' ? This could reveal the reason for the reload..

Regards,

Re: BR1310 Software Upgrade

s.abubasheer — Mon, 14 Nov 2005 19:44:07 GMT

Hi qpauwen,

Thank you, I download the tar file with http web browser interface not throw FTP, TFTP or RCP, I have it on my PC (c1310-k9w7-tar.123-7.JA1) size 4,360 KB ziped file . and I'm using (Reloading the Image Using the Web Browser Interface) next instructions :

Browser HTTP Interface

The HTTP interface allows you to browse to the access point/bridge image file on your PC and download

the image to the access point/bridge. Follow the instructions below to use the HTTP interface:

Step 1 Open your Internet browser. You must use Microsoft Internet Explorer (version 5.x or later) or Netscape

Navigator (version 4.x).

Step 2 Enter the access point/bridge’s IP address in the browser address line and press Enter. An Enter Network

Password screen appears.

Step 3 Enter your username in the User Name field.

Step 4 Enter the access point/bridge password in the Password field and press Enter. The Summary Status page

appears.

Step 5 Click the System Software tab and then click Software Upgrade. The HTTP Upgrade screen appears.

Step 6 Click the Browse button to locate the image file on your PC.

Step 7 Click the Upload button.

For additional information, click the Help icon on the Software Upgrade screen.

am I right ?! please .

I'll try to post the output of "show stacks".

Hi,

When attempting the IOS upgrade are you connected to the bridge through the radio interface? If so it will not allow the upgrade to proceed, you must connect to it through the ethernet interface. Also, try upgrading using tftp rather than through html, it's much more reliable.

Re: BR1310 Software Upgrade

s.abubasheer — Wed, 16 Nov 2005 15:13:34 GMT

Hi,

Thank you andrew, I using ethernet interface, but tftp which I never try before even I read some instructions about downloading image file from TFTP server to AP but can't do it ! can you give me instructions how can I make it with TFTP or FTP server ?

Hi,

Setup a TFTP server on your PC (you can download a really nice one from here:

http://tftpd32.jounin.net/

Very compact, does DHCP and other stuff as well. Get the TFTP server running and pointed at the directory where the image file is and make sure it's listening on the correct wired ethernet IP address of your PC (if you have multiple network cards).

From your web browser, ENABLE POPUPS!!! Very important or the upgrade won't work! Connect to the bridge, go to the System Software > Software Upgrade section. Click the TFTP Upgrade tab. Enter the IP address of your PC and the file name of the image file including the extention (no need to enter a path if you've set the TFTP server to point to the directory containing the image) and click the Upgrade button. You should see activity on the TFTP server as it uploads the image, it's a 2 step process. After the upgrade the bridge will reboot, when it comes back up check the firmware version, should be all done!

Hi,

thank you andrew, but still can't make it maybe something wrong with tftp server setting !please next my tftp server setting:

current directory :D:\Documents and Settings\Saher\Desktop\tftpd32.280

the image file(c1310-k9w7-tar.123-7.JA1) is in root of tftp directory

Server Interface: 192.168.20.99 subnet mask 255.255.255.0 (it's ip of my pc ethernet card)

BVI1 ip : 192.168.20.100 subnet mask 255.255.255.0

dot11radio interface0 no ip

ethernet interface no ip

am I right? is there a special setting for tftp server ? can you give me an example ? please

also I can use hyper terminal if you give me the right cli to use because I used next command but not worked ! ( archive download-sw /overwrite /reload

tftp:[[//location]/directory]/image-name ).

Thank you in advance

Hi Mates,

Please, can use hyper terminal to upgrade my BR1310 firmware can you give me the right cli to use because I used next command but not worked ! ( archive download-sw /overwrite /reload

tftp:[[//location]/directory]/image-name ).

Please read here product review from netprow team http://forum.cisco.com/eforum/servlet/NetProf?page=netprof&type=PR&CommCmd=MB%3Fcmd%3Ddisplay_location%26location%3D.1dd9cdfd

I read there " Any specific caveats you’d like to share about the product?

Some earlier versions of IOS software for the 1300s are affected by bugs, so I would advise to first read the release notes available at cisco.com ,before using those versions of software. One such caveat that I came across was for a client who had two 1300 bridges in a point-to-point configuration, the bridges lose connectivity after a power outage or when the bridges are rebooted. This was a bug in the IOS and causes a bridge parameter called CCA (Clear Channel Assessment) which gets set to zero after a reboot of the bridge. This bug has been fixed in IOS versions starting with 12.3.2JA and above."

this is very similar or exactly my problem but my br1310 is runing with 12.3(2)JA2 !!!

Thank you in advance

You could also use telnet to get access to the CLI.

(Windows: Start/Run, type cmd or command, telnet 192.168.20.100)

With the IP setup you posted above and assuming you

didn't rename the image you downloaded from cisco.com,

the following should work:

bridge# archive download-sw tftp://192.168.20.99/c1310-k9w7-tar.123-7.JA1.tar

You only need /overwrite if you want to download the same version again, Instead of /reload you can also

enter "reload" on the CLI after the download finished

successfully.

To test your tftp-setup try saving the config to the

tftp-server:

bridge# copy running-config tftp://192.168.20.99/

(Acknowledge IP and filename by hitting return)

There should be a file "running-config" on the

tftp-server in the same directory as the image now.

If this doesn't work, post the output from "show flash"
