Hi Folks,
I was just wondering if it is possible to boot the router from another router which are the same specs. I have two 1841s the first one works magnificent but the second one is giving me a lot of headache. Problems: 2-FEs ports ain't working, CF card slot is intermittent, chances are, you need to cool the router down for couple of hours or so to get it booted up from CF card otherwise it will stuck caught in a looping state boot or I don't know what is it called.
What I was trying to accomplish is connect each other via serial cable and setup ip addresses with /30 mask and then configure the faulty router in rommon to boot it from the other routers cf card slot.
Is it possible you reckon?
Thanking you in advance.
Cheers,
Paul

Hi,
With a spare 1841 I made the following experience: removed the CF card, and put the usb pen:
rommon 7 > dir usbflash0:

And booted ok
Can you also boot from usb with rommon command: boot usbflash0:/c1841-adventerprisek9-mz.151-4.M.bin ?
10-07-2013 04:08 AM
Make sure the IOS is in the CF (where else will it reside) and copy the config into the CF.
Move the CF into your other router and boot from it.

I tested the CF of the good router to the faulty one and still no luck. Here what's it's doing:

Hi,
Did you tried to load a new ios image from tftp server to rommon?
Example config:
rommon 10 > IP_ADDRESS=192.168.1.121
rommon 11 > IP_SUBNET_MASK=255.255.255.0
rommon 12 > DEFAULT_GATEWAY=192.168.1.1
rommon 13 > TFTP_SERVER=192.168.1.30
rommon 15 > TFTP_FILE=c180xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.bin
rommon 16 > tftpdnld
IP_ADDRESS: 192.168.1.121
IP_SUBNET_MASK: 255.255.255.0
DEFAULT_GATEWAY: 192.168.1.1
TFTP_SERVER: 192.168.1.30
TFTP_FILE: c1800xxxxxxxxxxxxx.bin
Invoke this command for disaster recovery only.
WARNING: all existing data in all partitions on flash will be lost!
Do you wish to continue? y/n: [n]: y
Receiving c1800xxxxxx.bin from 192.168.1.30 !!!!
rommon 20 > dir flash:
File size Checksum File name
8231296 bytes (0x7d9980) 0xd241 c1800xxxxxxxxxxx.bin
rommon 21 > boot flash:c1800xxxxxxxx.bin
You can also use the "good" router as a tftp server:
conf t
tftp-server flash:c1800xxxxxxxxxxxx.bin
Hope this helps!

Hi Pedro,
As I said abaove, the 2 fast ethernet ports of the crook router are not working so I can't perform what you've replied. Also you mentioned that I can use a router as a good TFTP server, can I get that done via serial cable connection (point to point) with both identical routers and the serial ip address as gateway for tftp purposes? Do you get what I mean? This is a home lab anyway, my goal is just to find another way on how to get the faulty up and running without accessing IOS from CF card or FE ports as they are malfunctioning.
Cheers,
Paul
10-07-2013 06:00 AM
I believe the CF card slot had been damaged as well as the FE ports because both CF cards are working on the good router. Tried the CF card of the good router to the bad router but to no avail. Also getting the same output which is looping

You've got an 1841?
Remove all WIC and NM and try again.
10-07-2013 04:51 PM
hi Leo,
1841s doesnt have nm slots only wic slots fyi.. I'll try and remove the wic-1t when I get home and will report back the result.
10-07-2013 06:59 PM
Hi Leo,
Here's the output after pulling the WIC-1T out. I managed to get in to the router but when I rebooted it, it won't get pass to this screen;

Eject the CF from your router and into the CF. Download any IOS from Cisco, avoid the "T" train.

Hi,
I think it is not possible to do tftpdnld from serial!
The only way to resolve would be by using a computer device with the console cable connected and some scripting to upload the ios by xmodem.
Did you tried to connect AUX port to console of the other device? You can connect to console but I have doubts about xmodem transfers.

Hi Pedro,
Do you think transferring ios back n forth with xmodem is a temporary solution? What if I power off the router and power back on, do I need to re-do all the process again everytime I have to use this faulty router?

Hi,
It all depends from the state of the flash after reboot. In normal situation after transfering the new ios via xmodem it will write to flash and boot without problems.
If your flash is damaged and somehow corrupts the files on it after boot, the only way is to make a script that automatic loads the ios via xmodem. It takes time and needs a pc connected to console!
But first you need to test manually if this process works. Check "console download" on this link:

In normal situation after transfering the new ios via xmodem it will write to flash and boot without problems. <=- Ok let say I managed to load the IOS to CF card through xmodem, Am i expecting that when I reload the router it will work okay without having a non stop loop. Because when I plugged this CF in to another good router it works and boots fine but not with this dodgy one.
