I have a C930048P-E and it boots into a switch: prompt. I cannot force it into ROMMON nor can I tftp the following IOS file to the switch.
switch: set
BOARDID=20564
IP_ADDRESS=192.168.0.1
MAC_ADDR=84:8A:8D:E0:5C:80
MODEL_NUM=C9300-48P
MOTHERBOARD_SERIAL_NUM=FOC22202CR0
PS1=switch:
ROMMON_AUTOBOOT_ATTEMPT=1
SWITCH_NUMBER=1
SYSTEM_SERIAL_NUM=SNxxxxxxxxx
The switch is missing the IOS file and fails to boot when I enter the following command:
switch: boot flash:packages.conf
attempting to boot from [flash:packages.conf]
Located file packages.conf

Mainboard hardware authentication failed. Abort init ...
It will continue to loop the message above regarding the Mainboard failure. I then power cycled the switch and this is how it starts.

I just need to get the switch to boot or at least figure out a way to push the following IOS to it cat9k_iosxe.16.09.03.SPA.bin
