Hello,

After step 4 (loading the image), when you reboot the router, the router

will come up with "Router>" prompt. At that prompt, you type "enable". Then

you will come to "Router#" prompt. At that prompt, you need to do the

configurations outlined in step 5:

Router(config)#configure terminal

Router(config)#config-register 0x2102

Router(config)#line con 0

Router(config-line)# speed 9600

When you do the last line, you will loose connectivity. Then you need to

close the hyperterminal, and create a new connection and set the speed to

default (9600). Then you can continue with Step 6.

Hope this helps.

all i did it. the picture it shown is after create a new connection which is 9600 bps. for steps 6 command for the new connection i created, all command cannot.

Hello,

In the picture, you are trying to enter "configure terminal" command at

"Router(conifg)#" mode. The router is already in the configuration mode, so

you cannot enter the "configure terminal" command again. Also, the title of

your hyperterminal connection (in the picture) says that it is 115200 bps

connection. So, did you already change the speed and you are trying to

access the device using the new speed or you are yet to change?

you see it clearly, that is no longer cisco 877w 115200 bps, it is cisco 877w. which is 9600 bps. check it clearly.

Hello,

My bad. I did not check the latest images (for some reasons, I did not find

them attached when I checked before). Anyways, seems like you are in ROMMON

mode again. At ROMMON mode, you cannot type any of those commands. Can you

issue "dir flash:" and post the output here?

now i posting 2 picture. 1 is only issue "dir flash", another 1 is after type "dir flash" & type steps 6 command 1.

[Nagaraja Thanthry]

Hello,

Try this:

boot flash:c870-advsecurityk9-mz.124-15.T4.bin

If that did not work, just try issuing "boot" command.

i type this command: "boot flash:c870-advsecurityk9-mz.124-15.T4.bin". it did.

but, the coming to last part after booting, it comes like garbage. you can see the picture attached.

Hello,

What is the baud rate settings? Can you try 9600 or 115200 and see if one of

those work?

[wangkiantjun]

now a different story. after i create another new connection with 9600 bps, and i type command: "Router(config-line)# speed 9600", then it prompt "Router(config-line)# ". which i need to type the steps 6 first command. once i type, it comes with "^". error message is: "invavild input detected at "^" marker. so whats the problem.

Please read an introduction to IOS configuration before making further attempts.

You are missing the necessary basis and understandings to accomplish any task.

Hello,

In step 6, you should have your hyperterminal connection baud rate set to

115200. When the router comes up, you should see

Router>

At that "Router>" prompt you type "enable"

Router>enable

Then you will get "Router#" prompt. Now you type "configure terminal"

Router configure terminal

Now you will see a different prompt "Router(config)#". At this new prompt,

type "line con 0"

Router(config)#line con 0

Now you will get into line configuration mode "Router(config-line)#". Now

you type "speed 9600". After you type that command, your screen becomes

blank. Now close the current hyperterminal connection, create a new one with

baud rate of 9600. Once the connection is open, hit enter. You will again

see "Rourter(config-line)#" prompt. Now you type "exit". You will go back to

"Router(config)#" prompt. At that prompt, you type "config-register 0x2102"

Router(config)#config-register 0x2102

You will get a message and router will come back to "Router(config)#"

prompt. Now you type "exit" again. You will see "Router#" prompt. Now you

type "Wr mem"

Router# wr mem

You will see a message saying that the router is saving the configuration.

Now you are all set.
