dir flash: shows empty flash. then it looks like you deleted image file .bin from flash:c3560-ipservicesk9-mz.122-53.SE2 directory.
you will have to copy back to flash using putty over console. it may take some time.

How is this possible? I dont have tftp server and am searching for commands but found not the right one

There is 2 Ways you can recover device in ROMMON Mode.

 

1. XMODEM

2. TFTP

 

XMODEM :

Issue the following commands:

 

1) flash_init

2) load_helper

 

Next you need to change the baud rate on the switch, otherwise it will take about 2 hours to transfer the IOS via xmodem.

 

3) set BAUD 115200

 

After you issue the baud rate command on the switch make sure you also change it in Hyperterminal or whatever software terminal emulation software you use. Otherwise you won't be able to communicate to the switch.

 

4) copy xmodem:"image_filename.bin" flash:"image_filename.bin"

5) In Hyperterminal select "Transfer" and select "send file". Change the protocol to xmodem. Next select browse and navigate to where you have stored the IOS that you would like to transfer to the switch. Click send.

 

The transfer will take about 30-40 minutes.

 

6)boot flash:"image_filename.bin"

 

The new IOS should boot at this point. If you need more in depth instructions check out this link.

TFTP : ( you should have TFTP Server running on your PC - change the IP address as per your environment) - make sure you put the .bin file Root folder of TFTP.

 

 

switch: IP_ADDRESS=192.168.1.1

switch: IP_SUBNET_MASK=255.255.255.0

switch: TFTP_SERVER=192.168.1.2

switch: TFTP_FILE=c3550-ipservicesk9-mz.122-35.SE5.bin

switch: DEFAULT_GATEWAY=192.168.1.1

switch: set

BOOT=tftp://192.168.1.2/c3550-ipservicesk9-mz.122-35.SE5.bin

DEFAULT_GATEWAY=192.168.1.1

IP_ADDRESS=192.168.1.1

IP_SUBNET_MASK=255.255.255.0

TFTP_FILE=c3550-ipservicesk9-mz.122-35.SE5.bin

TFTP_SERVER=192.168.1.2

switch: boot tftp://192.168.1.2/c3550-ipservicesk9-mz.122-35.SE5.bin

 

Once booted, copy the .bin file to flash, and set the boot variable :

 

boot system flash:/c3560-ipbasek9-mz.122-35.SE5.bin ( example)

 

wr and reload and let us know.
