4000M console

[12122053]

I just received a 4000M router and im trying to load a IOS image on to it. The problem im having i can't get into rommon prompt instead I get a abort at 0x1064266 (PC). Im using windows hyperterminal and pressing Ctrl & break keys this usually works with 2600/3600 routers. Does anybody have any info or links, thanks.

If this helps im using windows 2000 hyperterminal, thanks.

Well only thing I could get into is the (boot)>prompt which does have limited options. Could i load the IOS from here? Someone please help need to configure router for work, thanks.

I'm digging in the memory a bit here.. the 4000 has two different items.. a software boot loader and the IOS... if I remember right, you can load the IOS by using the TFTPDNLD parameters.. you need to set the IP address of the TFT .. subnet mask , default gateway and file name..

IP_ADDRESS=192.168.1.2
SUBNET_MASK=255.255.255.0
DEFAULT_GATEWAY=192.168.1.1
FILE_NAME= <filename>

It's been a while so take this with a grain of salt and check it first on Cisco's site

Well the only interface i have is a 4T serial that's all why is interface eth0 showing up. how do I check if the flash is good? I can't even configure the serial interface. Does not let me do a config T. I see the boot message stating 4mb ram but no flash any advice, thanks

Sounds like bad or incorrect flash chip had similar problem

12122053,
First of you must have the required Flash/RAM config on your router to run the IOS, otherwise the router will merely crash on system bootup.

For 4000M to run IOS 11.+ you need a min 4MB Flash/8MB RAM (Main Mem). Sounds like you got sufficient Flash but not enough main memory.

You'll have to upgrade your RAM.
- Download the &quot;Replacing memory in cisco 4000 series&quot; pdf guide from

http://www.cisco.com

for hardware instructions.
- You should be able to use standard old 72pin PC RAM (may depend on parity). It is much cheaper than buying cisco RAM ;-).

To check flash config > sh flash
To check router memory > sh version

To re-initalise 4000M router
- Boot router & issue a CRTL-Break command from hyperterm
- > o/r
- > i (initialises router)

This will boot into ROM config mode which will allow you to setup the ethernet interface with an IP address to copy the IOS from a TFTP server.
> copy tftp flash

Once done, ensure that you change the config-register back to boot from NVRAM.
> config t
> config-reg 0x102

Hope this helps.

Found out incorrect flash memory, thanks for the info.
