Hi all,
I am facing a problem in upgradation Ios of router. I have uploaded new image but still it is booting from old IOS.
old ios :c2800nm-advipservicesk9-mz.124-12.bin
new IOS: c2800nm-advipservicesk9-mz.124-25d.bin
config#boot system flash:\c2800nm-advipservicesk9-mz.124-25d.bin
I have check other IOS version as well but still showing me same.
I would highly appreciate if someone can give me some time to solve this issue.

seems that someone has changed your config-register ...
I assume you want to have the image c2800nm-advipservicesk9-mz.124-25d.bin running on this router
- delete the IOS 15.0(1) release
- copy the IOS 12.48(25d) to the router as you have done initialy
- verify the integrity of this image with
verify flash:c2800nm-advipservicesk9-mz.124-25d.bin
- if it is ok, set the boot var to point to this image
- CHANGE the config-register with the command
config-register 0x2102
- verify this value to be shown at the end of the output of "show version"
- copy running to startup (wr mem)
- reload the router and (hopefully) be happy ...

The correct command is: "boot system flash:c2800nm-advipservicesk9-mz.124-25d.bin"

Hi leolaohoo ,
First of all Thanks for your help
I tried this command as well but the results are same. Is there any other possibility to solve it
boot system flash:c2800nm-advipservicesk9-mz.124-25d.bin

order of the statements matter
so modify your config to have it point to the new IOS in the first line and next line contains the old IOS
something like this
boot system flash:c2800nm-advipservicesk9-mz.124-25d.bin
boot system flash:c2800nm-advipservicesk9-mz.124-12.bin

try downloading the image again and load it.
if that fails as well/. post the console logging when the router boots up.

could you please provide the output of the 2 commands:
dir /all
dir /all all-filesystems

Thanks for prompt answers
I don't have console access, managing device remotely So cannot post the booting logs but I will download new image and upload it again.

Maybe you have a previous boot statement. Do this:
conf t
no boot system
boot system flash:c2800nm-advipservicesk9-mz.124-25d.bin
end
wr
reload
11-26-2010 09:47 AM
I did what was suggested, I downloaded new Image but still having same issue. Router is booting with the old IOS. Thanks in advance if someone help
no boot system
boot system flash:c2800nm-advipservicesk9-mz.150-1.M4.bin
wr
reload
11-28-2010 01:33 PM
Can you post the bootup process? I want to know if the router found something "funny" and skipped the boot variable.
11-29-2010 05:45 AM
Thanks again for your time
I gave information above as well, I cannot get access to that Router through Console. Is there any other way through vty.

Connection by using Auxiliary Port
(AUX Port)
By using a
remote computer through a modem that calls another modem connected to the
router with a cable using the Auxiliary
Port on the router. Auxiliary Port
(AUX Port) allows a direct, non-network
connection to the router, from a remote location. The Auxiliary
Port (AUX Port)
uses a connector type to which modems can plug into, which allows an
administrator from a remote location to access the router like a console port.

Thanks Jyosa for the post, IOS problem is solved. problem was config register value. which is noticed by Martin.
But yes I would like to know about Aux. we have already done setup of modem on another remote site for the router and I got number as well but I have not used it. I was trying to dial though hyper terminal but no luck. Do I need direct telephone line to dial or ext. will work ? I would appreciate if you can let me know the proces.
