Hi all,
I currently have a 2960 in rommon mode with no available images on it. I have had 8 attempts at transferring a new image to it via xmodem which takes 5 hours each time and it gets to 100% and then fails with an I/O error listed on the switch console. I seen some methods for TFTP, I'm not sure they are compatible with my switch and didn't seem to work. When assigning a IP address and router and attempting a tftp transfer I get an output message of no such device. I've been unable to use this device for a week now unfortunately. Any tips would be great.
Thanks

Find an old IOS version, particularly one that is a lot smaller than the one you are uploading now.
Use a different machine to do the xmodem transfer.

Turns out this was my own fault, theres an option on tera term to "send file" which is what I was using and it was failing at 100%. Just further down from this option as a transfer option which then allows you to select xmodem and then the send option. I've tested this twice today and both transfers have worked.
Thanks for the advice.
