c2600 Platform

[richard.m.gilbert]

I bought a 2600 router and the int fa0/0 does not work. I get connect link light when plugged into another port but it isn't seen from cdp on the switch. As I investigated into the problem on the show version it says the platform is a 2600. Is there such a thing ... I thought it 2600 was the family and they were broken out by the last two digits ... such as 2610, 2612, 2620, 2650, and 2691?

Before I open it up and do the obvious physical checkout of the interface, can y'all check the CLI for anything obvious?

Thanks,

Richard

Edison, Mike, and Rick,

Thanks for the help in solving the problem ... but more importantly understanding how to solve problem. NetPro users are johhny-on-the-spot as usual.

Richard,

Thanks for the rating. I believe Mike deserves a high 5 as well. Rating given :)

Hey guys ... Is this the right step to do the load?

Router[config]#config-register 0x0

Router[config]#exit

Router#reload

rommon>xmodem -cfs115200 (IOS filename)

*close the session and open a new one at 115200 / 8 / none / 1

*then select file Transfer/Send/

rommon>2 confreg 0x2102

rommon>3 reset

The 'f' option is only supported on 1600 Series routers, not sure if it works on 2600.

If you have a software that supports the Ymodem protocol, use it. Much faster.

See the command information on xmodem and its options:

Edison,

Thanks. I have these image now ... c2600-i-mz.123-15.bin (7.33Mb) and c2600-i-mz.122-31.bin (5.31Mb). 123-15 is for 2611 and 122-15 is for 2620. Until I can get the 123.26 image will these work? I just want to see if the interface is good. I can't get that image now and have a limited time until I have to return this router to be able to get money back in case there is a physical issue with the interface.

Thanks again for all the quick responses.

I think the c2600-i-mz.123-15.bin should be ok.

[Edison Ortiz]

Richard,

Go with c2600-i-mz.122-31.bin as it has a smaller footprint hence a quicker upload via xmodem.

[burleyman]

Good Idea...did not think about that. I have done the xmodem and I have three words for that....useful but painful

Also, Thanks Edison for the links about the IOS release notes, I am still trying to understand what features are what and which to choose.

Props to Edison, Rick, and Mike.

wow ... 1.5M of 5.4M in about 40 minutes. This is gonna take a while. I will let you guys know if that fixed it. THanks again for all you guys' help.

Richard

[richard.m.gilbert]

It took over 2 hours ... but it loaded and the router sees the interface. Thanks again.
