CISCO 2951 and 48port EtherSwitch module (baud issues)

[alienkidmj12]

Hi folks,

Seem to have ran into an issue, just purchased a 48 port module for my router. However it did not have any image, so i attempted doing a zmodem upload, but it was too slow. I changed the baud on the switch itself to 57600, and now i cant get back in to change it. All i get is awfull characters :( Surely ive not killed it already,

Does anyone know a work around ?

thanks

 - Seems you have a baudrate-mismatch between the switch and your operator-infrastructure. Sync the baudrate settings.

how do i achieve that,

im lost to be honest, been trying for almost 24 hrs

any advice would be gratefully, at my whits end now.

line con 0
line aux 0

 speed 57600

scheduler max-task-time 5000

scheduler allocate 20000 1000
ntp server 194.35.252.7

end

i remember setting the etherswitch to 57600, obviously i cant get in now to change it, the line 131 only allows 115000 or 9600 baud.

i can connec to the main switch find using telnet or console, its only when i access the ether switch i have issues, doing the following

 - That is a chicken and egg problem ; because you are accessing it through a channel that has another baudrate then the module you are trying to access. Try tapping the space bar when the weird characters appear. If that does not help check how to factory reset the module so that it gets back to a standard baud rate.

ive tried that, just wierd chars, i can take the module out but cant see any buttons. not sure if the settings are stored on the module or on the router itself, hard to tell - does anyone know this ? i can see a set header pins on the board but wouldnt know what they are, possible serial or something :( clutching straws here hoping someone has an answer :( cant see any batteries on the module either. dear me. i cant be the only one who had this issue, seems as though cisco need some sort of solution. perhaps giving us more options for baud on line 131, is thats infact the one i need to configure.

I guess you've loaded the wrong image in your router?

first remove the switch module and see if you can access the router-chasisis

remove the flash card and see if you can get into rommon mode

look at reset the chassis to factory defaults

I guess you've loaded the wrong image in your router?

 >>>>>>>>> confused by this commment, i can acces the 2951 okay, its the etherswitch i cannot access, as its on wrong baud rate.

first remove the switch module and see if you can access the router-chasisis

>>> NA

remove the flash card and see if you can get into rommon mode

>>> NA

how do i set a 2951 router to 57600 baud using config registers, ive tried

config-register 0x3122

but after reload, it reverts back to  0x2102

anyone any ideas ??? i thought if i made the router the same baud i could then connect to the switch which is at 57600 at the moment,

found this procedure to change baudrate in rommon 

Once in ROMmon, change the console baud rate from 9600 bps to 115200 bps to speed up the download time. Use the confreg command and complete the instructions presented on the screen.

rommon 1 >confreg

how do i enter rommon mode, ive tried configuring registers, i just cant
get there.

its opn 57600 baud now,  still no luck connecting to etherswitch which is at 57600 baud

im unable to use 57600, wondering if this is a limitation of router, or ios ??

[alienkidmj12]

im really suprised some cisco employee has not given me a solution by now :(

it is my worklab, im studying cisco qual, so without this im kinda stuck... no progress

just need a definitive answer, can it be salvaged some how

Step-by-Step Procedure

Perform these steps in order to recover your password:

1. Either switch off or shut down the router.

2. Remove the compact flash that is on the rear of the router. 

   For more information, refer to Back Panel Slots and Connectors on the Cisco 2921 and 2951 Routers.

3. Switch on the router.

4. Once the router is on Rommon mode, reinsert the compact flash.

THIS IS NOT A PASSWORD ISSUE,

IT IS A BAUD RATE ISSUE


The Service Module Etherswitch 48port 1GB is running at 57600 baud

The router is running at 9600 baud on  TTY line 131,

I need to reset the service module to 9600 baud

There is an internal pin header on the board, does anyone know what this does, is it serial ??

[pieterh]

You don't understand!

the procedure to get into rommon mod to configure the baudrate

starts the same as the password recovery procedure

once you have got into rommon mode you do not do the password recovery steps, but steps to change the baudrate
