Help - I screwed up my Cisco 871 router bad

[boeckelr]

Hi -

I feel stupid writing this and I am not sure I am even in the correct place.

I have really messed up my 871 (non wireless) and I dont know what to do with it to fix it.

I was trying to delete SDM Express from my router so I could put CCP Express on it.  So I erased the following files:

home.sthml

sdm-8xxx.config

home.tar

es.tar

common.tar

I then tried to reload IOS.  When I reloaded it, it would no longer assign an ip address to my pc...and all I could see when connecting to the console was gibberish.

So then since I couldnt log in or anything, I tried to reset the router by pressing the reset button within 5 seconds of turning the unit on.  IT didnt do anything - still gibberish via the console....still wont assign ip address to my laptop.

I also tried setting the ip address  myself - 10.10.10.2 but that didnt fix anything - still cant telnet to it.

I am running advanced ip services 12.4 11T2.

Please help!!!  Can it be fixed?

Thanks,

Mike

Hi -

I forgot to add that the WAN TXD light is now a solid green after booting up.  The only other light that is on is the ok light.

Thanks.

Hi,

For the console gibberish you should verify your terminal emulator settings:

Bits per sec    :  9600 
Data bits       :     8 
Parity          :  none 
Stop bits       :     1 
Flow control    :  none 

Then when you have solved this problem you  can do some show commands but it will depend on what message you get in console.
