[nimish18rocks]

Respected Sir/Madam

I have a CISCO WS-C2948G-L3 switch with me, when I power it up I get the following message :-

ROMMON: Cold Reset frame @0x00000000
ROMMON: Reading reset reason register
ROMMON: Valid NVRAM config

Also, when I connect a staright cable from the switch into my PC lan port it does not show anything on my pc, so I am unable to put the IOS through tftp.

Please let me know what is the problem with the switch, and how can I restore it back to normal working condition.

Looking forward for your reply at the earliest.

Regards
Nimish Singh

Please use the Hyperterminal Software to configure the Switch.

Thanks,
