VG224 IOS needed

[vipankapur1]

Hello,

Does anyone have a version of the VG224 IOS.  Mine has gone corroupt and I cannot download a new version from Cisco without a service contract.

This was the version that I was running.

vg224-i6s-mz.124-9.T7.bin

Now all I get is the following when starting my VG224:

Readonly ROMMON initialized

program load complete, entry point: 0x80008000, size: 0x1af1690

Error : compressed image checksum is incorrect 0x38D59F55

You will need to open a TAC case for such a request. This is like asking for free music or movies, there is a reason licenses and support is required.

HTH,

Chris,

Thank you for the response.  Do you know how I can format the flash card and install the ios image onto it so that it is reconized by the VG224 gateway.

[Chris Deren]

You can simply delete the existing IOS by issueing "del slot1 XXXX" where XXX is the name of the file.

I am currently in ROMMON mode so I don't have an option to del.  I need to be able to format the flashcard and put an IOS image onto it.  This is what I see under ROMMON.

rommon 19 > dev

Devices in device table:

        id  name

    flash:  internal compact flash

    slot0:  external compact flash

    eprom:  eprom

rommon 20 > dir slot0:

device does not contain a valid magic number

dir: cannot open device "slot0:"

Had the same problem.  Solution: You need to get a working flash with the IOS image and place it into the slot that has the problem insert at rammon> confreg 0x2142

rammon2> reset

Either format the flash in FAT16 or get a Flash already formatted in Flash16
