2600 router IOS install

[Naveen Raj Janardhan]

Can anyone please point or direct me regarding installing a new IOS using tftp on Rommon mode. Also is this done using console cable or the crossover cable. I tried using xmodem, but it keeps giving me errors. Thanks in advance.

I keep getting the following error messages

ARP: address resolution for 10.1.1.1 timed out.

ARP failed with failure code 1. TFTP transfer aborted.

TFTP: Operation terminated prematurely.

not sure what the errors are.

what settings are you using?

I would guess

computer derectly connected via cross-over (or an auto sensing nic)

rommon 3 > set

PS1=rommon ! >

IP_ADDRESS=10.1.1.1

IP_SUBNET_MASK=255.255.255.0

DEFAULT_GATEWAY=10.1.1.2

TFTP_SERVER=10.1.1.2

then set your computer to 10.1.1.2/24

Rommon can be a little glitchy (from my experience) so since its in rommon I'd try to get it to just the router and my computer

I just fixed it a few moments before your message was sent. The method was exactly the same that you had suggested. thanks very much!!!
