Hi,

Check your boot variable.  When the switch boot all the way, do "sh boot"

You may have to set your boot variable

config t

boot system bootflash.....

Also, can you post "sh ver" and sh run?

Hi

Could you show clearly the different steps of that confguration please ?

[Reza Sharifi]

What do you mean by "clearly the different steps"?

just login to the switch and follow the commands I provided.  If the switch is in production, you have to do this after hours, because rebooting will cause outage.  Is this in production or lab?

Here are the steps:

rommon 1 > dev

rommon 2> Set

rommon 3> confreg 0x2102

rommon 4> sync

rommon 5> reset

rommon 6 > dir slot0:  >>> Beliving that you have image on the slot0  ((the device ID is slot0: and/or slot1:, corresponding to the PCMCIA cards inserted in the respective slots):

rommon 7> boot slot0:c7200-ik8s-mz.122-10b.bin  >>>  boot the respective image which you see under slot0/disk0

After this the device should boot with valid image and comes up without any issue.

Hi,

there is no PCMCIA card inserted in the Super Engine.

What can i do then.

[InayathUlla Sharieff]

Then no way. USB ports are not enabled for this module I bleieve.

You need to get the compact flash from one of the working device and boot it.
