When I boot up my Cisco 2600 router I get the following:
System Bootstrap, Version 11.3(2)XA4, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)

What can I do to resolve this issue?

I tried this:
rommon 1 > tftpdnld
Missing or illegal ip address for variable IP_ADDRESS
Illegal IP address.
usage: tftpdnld [-r]
Use this command for disaster recovery only to recover an image via TFTP.
Monitor variables are used to set up parameters for the transfer.
(Syntax: "VARIABLE_NAME=value" and use "set" to show current variables.)
"ctrl-c" or "break" stops the transfer before flash erase begins.
The following variables are REQUIRED to be set for tftpdnld:
IP_ADDRESS: The IP address for this unit
IP_SUBNET_MASK: The subnet mask for this unit
DEFAULT_GATEWAY: The default gateway for this unit
TFTP_SERVER: The IP address of the server to fetch from
TFTP_FILE: The filename to fetch
The following variables are OPTIONAL:
TFTP_VERBOSE: Print setting. 0=quiet, 1=progress(default), 2=verbose
TFTP_RETRY_COUNT: Retry count for ARP and TFTP (default=7)
TFTP_TIMEOUT: Overall timeout of operation in seconds (default=7200)
TFTP_CHECKSUM: Perform checksum test on image, 0=no, 1=yes (default=1)
FE_SPEED_MODE: 0=10/hdx, 1=10/fdx, 2=100/hdx, 3=100/fdx, 4=Auto(deflt)
Command line options:
-r: do not write flash, load to DRAM only and launch image
rommon 2 > ip_address=192.168.1.1
rommon 3 > ip_subnet_mask=255.255.255.0
rommon 4 > default_gateway=192.168.1.254
rommon 5 > tftp_server=192.168.1.100
rommon 6 > tftp_file=/tftp/aaa1321.bin
rommon 7 > tftpdnld
Missing or illegal ip address for variable IP_ADDRESS
Illegal IP address.
Was that the correct steps?

And if I try this:
rommon 1 > dir flash:
device does not contain a valid magic number
dir: cannot open device "flash:"
rommon 2 >
Does this help explain the issue?

Bob, did you overcome this problem?....as I've got exactly the same problem at the moment
06-11-2002 05:26 AM
No, I have had no luck. I bought new RAM and FLASH, and still the same issue. Now I am no longer able to console or hyperterm into the router. Lots of problems and no answers. Let me know if you get any help.

In order to download IOS from rommon you need to first set the variables. Type "set" and rommon will return the current settings. Then set the values that you need. It is case sensitive. Example:
IP_ADDRESS=192.168.1.1
IP_SUBNET_MASK=255.255.255.0
DEFAULT_GATEWAY=192.168.1.254
TFTP_SERVER=192.168.1.100
TFTP_FILE=/tftp/aaa1321.bin
set (to view and double check your input)
tftpdnld
This should work. Good luck!

Try uploading an image over x-modem using the console.
