I recently bought a Cisco/Linksys SRW2048 switch off eBay. It seemed to be working fine (as a switch) but I didn't know the admin password, so I reset it. Then I rebooted the switch and now it won't boot up fully anymore anymore - it's stuck in a loop. Part way through booting, I get this:
HW version is 00.03.00
Base Mac address is: 00:18:f8:12:c2:40
Dram size is : 64M bytes
Dram first block size is : 46080K bytes
Dram first PTR is : 0x1300000
Flash size is: 16M

***** FATAL ERROR *****
Reporting Task: ROOT.
Software Version: 1.2.1 (date 15-Jun-2006 time 16:12:56)
Here's a little more info on the switch:
BOOT 1.0.0.04 Built 08-Sep-2005
HW 00.03.00
SW 1.2.1 15-June-2006
I was going to try and re-flash the firmware (as suggested on some forums that I've seen), but I don't have any firmware files. Links that I have that point to the places on Cisco's site are dead. I requested a file from Cisco and this was their reply:
In order to download software from Cisco's software download center, your product must be covered under an active service contract that provides access to download Software. Hardware and Software warranty do not provide access to software download.
I reviewed the information you provided and have determined that the product you are trying to download software for (RJT00FA00767 ) is not covered under a service contract.
Please contact your Cisco Services Representative (partner, reseller, or Cisco Service Account Manager) to purchase a service contract that provides access to software downloads and upgrades for this device.
Does anyone have any suggestions, or the firmware files they would like to share?
Thank you!
