This unit does not respond.

after "boot" the only prompt i get is;

ap:

if i type en or enable i cannot gain access, it responds with Unknown cmd: en.

here is a copy of what the boot looks like;

ap: Xmodem file system is available.

flashfs[0]: 17 files, 3 directories

flashfs[0]: 0 orphaned files, 0 orphaned directories

flashfs[0]: Total bytes: 7741440

flashfs[0]: Bytes used: 113664

The system is unable to boot automatically because there

are no bootable files to boot.

When exactly did you release the button?

You have to wait until the lights change colors. I can't remember what color it is (red??)but you have to unplug it, press the mode button, plug it in, keep pressing it until the lights stop doing whatever they are doing and then release.

I found it-

Step 7 Hold the MODE button until the status LED turns red (approximately 20 to 30 seconds), and release the MODE button.

This is usually where I get screwed up - Is the TFTP server on the correct subnet? I am almost positive the mask is 255.255.255.0

is the file name correct? check the file name and make sure you didn't add an extra spacebar or something silly...this will hoark you up every time

[davidummel_2]

yes,

all was correct.

red light (waited about 30-40 seconds)

and the tftp is on the correct subnet.

file name was correct, i checked that until i went almost blind!

thanks for your response

Hi David,

To add a little more to this thread here is an excerpt from a post that I threw out in October of this year. Have a look at the details in the following threads that all have to do with TFTP. There are some great hints for troubleshooting TFTP problems from some of my favourite NetPros like ScottMac,Stephen from Cisco and JackYoung. The likely culprit may be that you need to uncheck "hide extensions for known file types" on your TFTP server;

Interesting!

i will give it a try on monday.

this may clear it up

thank you

[davidummel_2]

Yes,

thank you for your response.

I have done what you requested and i seem to be just a bit closer to the resolution of this issue.

i do as your instructions say, but;

it examines the image but the connection times out.

[davidummel_2]

Dang it!!

I typed too soon!!

I changed to a different directory and i have SUCCESS!!

i was using a folder i created (C://tftp)

this was causing issues? not sure why, everything was pointed to it within the tftp program.

i switched the tftp to point to the tftp root within the cisco folder within the programs folder.

retryed, and VIOLA, she worky!

tank you very much EVERYONE for all the input, it helped greatly and i learned very much in the process.

[Rob Huffman]

Good job David!

It's always the small stuff isn't it, that trips us up! Your perseverance paid off!!

Take care,

Rob

[davidummel_2]

it has loaded and most things are good with the world again.

i cannot access the web interface though.

i have read up on this and i have everything correct.

is there some command line command that i need to send to allow access to the web interface?
