Xmodem Procedure for Downloading a Cisco IOS Software Image onto a Cisco 2620 Router

Use this xmodem procedure in order to download a Cisco IOS software image onto a Cisco 2620 Router. 1. Launch a terminal emulator program. This example Windows HyperTerminal is configured for 8-N-1 at 9600 bps. Connect your PC's serial port to the console port of the router. Once connected, get into the ROMmon prompt (rommon 1>). Typically, if the router's Cisco IOS software image and bootflash image are both corrupt, the router only comes up in ROMmon mode. If the former is not true and you need to get into the ROMmon prompt, then you will need to change the configuration register (typically 0x2102 as given by show version) to 0x0 as follows:
2620#configure terminal Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. 2620(config)#con 2620(config)#conf 2620(config)#config-register 0x0 2620(config)#^Z 2620# 5d03h: %SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by console 2620# 2620#reload System configuration has been modified. Save? [yes/no]: n Proceed with reload? [confirm] 5d03h: %SYS-5-RELOAD: Reload requested System Bootstrap, Version 11.3(2)XA4, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1) Copyright (c) 1999 by cisco Systems, Inc.

2. Once in ROMmon, change the console baud rate from 9600 bps to 115200 bps to speed up the download time. Use the confreg command and complete the instructions presented on the screen.
rommon 1 >confreg Configuration Summary enabled are: break/abort has effect console baud: 9600 boot: the ROM Monitor do you wish to change the configuration? y/n [n]: y enable "diagnostic mode"? y/n [n]: enable "use net in IP bcast address"? y/n [n]: enable "load rom after netboot fails"? y/n [n]: enable "use all zero broadcast"? y/n [n]: disable "break/abort has effect"? y/n [n]: enable "ignore system config info"? y/n [n]: change console baud rate? y/n [n]: y enter rate: 0 = 9600, 1 = 4800, 2 = 1200, 3 = 2400 4 = 19200, 5 = 38400, 6 = 57600, 7 = 115200 [0]: 7 change the boot characteristics? y/n [n]:

3. Once the router boots up in ROMmon, the HyperTerminal sessions start to display illegible characters. You need to exit the current terminal session and start a new one at a data rate of 115200 bps to match the console rate as in step 2. 4. You are now ready to issue the xmodem command. However, before issuing the xmodem command, ensure that you have the new Cisco IOS software image on your PC.

Para comenzar la transmisin del sistema operativo, en la HiperTerminal Realizamos los siguientes pasos:

Si no se cuenta con el archivo imagen revisar Apndice B para mayor informacin.

Apndice B: Copiar el Sistema Operativo

Para crear una copia de un sistema operativo lo primero es ejecutar el comando show versin dentro del router y copiar la direccin completa de la imagen del sistema de archivos:

Ya con esta informacin slo tenemos que copiarlo mediante nuestro servidor TFTP a nuestra computadora con el comando: Router# copy origen destino Es decir: Router# copy flash:c2600-is-mz.120-7.T.bin tftp:

Y se siguen las instrucciones como para cualquier uso del servidor TFTP:

Es importante mencionar que de preferencia el nombre que le demos a nuestra copia sea exactamente el mismo que el del archivo original con todo y su extensin .bin
