Hi,
I have been using 'dir usbflash0:' etc on a Cisco 1941 router with IOS v15.1 fine.
Today I have upgraded the IOS to c1900-universalk9-mz.SPA.155-1.T.bin and also tried c1900-universalk9-mz.SPA.155-3.M3.bin.
With these new IOS's I am unable to access the USB ports. If I downgrade back to 15.1, they work fine again.
Under 15.5, 'dir ?' doesn't seem to show the filesystems for USB being available:
"
rtr-h001859#dir ?
/all List all files
/recursive List files recursively
all-filesystems List files on all filesystems
archive: Directory or file name
cns: Directory or file name
flash0: Directory or file name
flash1: Directory or file name
flash: Directory or file name
null: Directory or file name
nvram: Directory or file name
system: Directory or file name
tar: Directory or file name
tmpsys: Directory or file name
xmodem: Directory or file name
ymodem: Directory or file name
| Output modifiers
<cr>
"
However I can issue 'show usb' and it shows them active:
"
rtr-h001859#show usb port
Port Number: 0
Status: Disabled
Connection State: Disconnected
Speed: Unknown
Power State: ON
Port Number: 1
Status: Enabled
Connection State: Connected
Speed: High
Power State: ON
"
I have tried running "no hw-module usb disable", saving and reloading, but still nothing.
Do later IOS's really disable use of the USB ports?!
I would really appreciate some insight or advice on how to access the USB ports under 15.5+.
Thank you!
Best Regards,
Elliot

This issue is caused by a bug in the IOS code. I've seen this before. Nothing you can do except upgrade (or downgrade).

Hi Leo,
Thank you for your reply.
I don't suppose you know of a paper which references all the buggy (or even non-buggy) IOS's do you?
I have now tried the following IOS's and they all have the same issue!
c1900-universalk9-mz.SPA.150-1.M9
c1900-universalk9-mz.SPA.151-1.T.bin
c1900-universalk9-mz.SPA.151-3.T1.bin
c1900-universalk9-mz.SPA.151-4.M7.bin
c1900-universalk9-mz.SPA.152-4.M7.bin
c1900-universalk9-mz.SPA.154-3.M6a.bin
I'm actually wondering if the problem is due to a "default" config setting which one of the later IOS's introduced.
Also, like an idiot, between shuffling all these IOS files about, I have managed to delete the original IOS which was on the device, so now I am unsure exactly which one did work!
Thank you.
