I really could use some help. I have setup a home lab for my CCNA\Security studies and have purchased a 2511 to serve as an access server. The 2511 was advertised as fully operational but when I powered it up this is the first error message I get.....
ERR: Invalid chip id 0x80B5 (reversed = 0x1AD ) detected in System flash
From my research it appears this may have something to do with an old ROM and newer flash, here is the ROM info....

Could this be a simple as a ROM upgrade which I have found on eBay for $10.00? Or do I have a larger problem?
The boot continues appearing normal until it gets to ....
%SNMP-5-COLDSTART: SNMP agent on host Terminal is undergoing a cold start
and then completely hangs.
The seller won't answer any emails and in his add he claimed he was a CCIE and used this router in his own home lab.
I really hope someone can give me a direction on this otherwise it looks like I have a $200 box of rocks.
Thanks
