2600 flash upgrade tftpdnld problem

[turnermr]

Hi

I have just upgraded the flash and bootrom on my 2621 but when I run tftpdnld from rommon I get the message Missing or illegal ip address for variable IP_ADDRESS

I have set all of the required variables and obviously checked the syntax on the ip address but to no avail, any ideas?

many thanks

Could you leave some more info, especially on the IP addressing and "required variables"?

Josef.

hi josef

thanks for the reply

it is configured as follows

PS1=rommon ! >

ip_subnet_mask=255.255.000.000

default_gateway=150.14.185.1

tftp_server=150.14.100.123

tftp_file=c2600-is-mz.122-15.t16.bin

ip_address=150.014.125.200

fe_speed_mode=3

?=1

I have also tried it without the leading zeros

thanks Mark

In a recent posting about tftpdnld someone made the point that the variables must be configured with the variable names in capital letters, and that lower case will not work. It has been a long time since I had to use tftpdnld and I do not remember if that was the case. Give it a try using captial letters and let us know if that helps.
