Need to recover 2511-RJ

ajrossington · ‎03-16-2016

I have a 2511-RJ which isn't doing as I ask.

If I power on and leave it with confreg 0x2102 it hangs at:

System Bootstrap, Version 11.0(10c)XB1, PLATFORM SPECIFIC RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)
Copyright (c) 1986-1997 by cisco Systems
2500 processor with 14336 Kbytes of main memory

If I boot and hit break I can enter a confreg.

Using o/r 0x2142 should boot without looking at the config but it still just hangs.

using o/r 0x2101 gets me hung at

[output trimmed]
Cisco Internetwork Operating System Software
IOS (tm) 3000 Bootstrap Software (IGS-BOOT-R), Version 11.0(10c)XB1, PLATFORM SPECIFIC RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)

and no further.

I have two sets of flash and two sets of dram. All four combinations provide the same results.

Where do I go from here?

Thanks in advance

Hello,

Its a IOS problem router bootstrap is not able to find proper IOS so router is not booting ,so is stuck you can try following steps:

1) Turn off the router remove power cable and after that take out flash card clean it with blower and then re-insert the card now turn router on (If problem get resolved fine) or

2)Upload IOS using TFTP or xmodem (Slow process) and how to do is explained in this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxTO5qxti-I).

As IOS is uploaded you can boot router with new uploaded IOS with this command

rommon 1 > dir flash: ----->(Check the name of uploded image)
  File size         Checksum   File name   
5358032 bytes (0x51c1d0)   0x7b16    c2600-i-mz.122-10b.bin

boot flash:(copy the name of new uploded image here)

Now your router will be booted.
