when i compare it to one from a working 1841 (I have 2 of them), it seems this one is corrupt.

Here is cookie from the working 1841:

Hello ISPKing,

Can you tell me how to re-flash the rommon please?

 

[ISPKing]

When you say re-flash rommon, do you actually mean rommon or the ios?

CCNP

 

[dgoradia]

I was referring to when you said:

^^^ are you kdding? Are you not aware of the month we are in? And you post is so irrelevant, it doesnt accomplish anything at all, except changing the baud rate. [highlight]This is a complex cookie issue which may require a rommon re-flash.[/highlight] Not a line speed cahange. And the reason why it is at 115200 is when uploading a ios image throug the console 9600 baud will take forever.

So yes, I meant re-flash the rommon and NOT the IOS.

 

[ISPKing]

Well, like i said complex. You will need to go through cisco to obtain it. I believe on the 1841 they are just upgrade images, but on the older model routers it was an actual part replacement.

CCNP

 

[dgoradia]

I don't have a support contract with cisco so how else can I obtain the upgrade images for rommon?

I know it is not the IOS and that it is a cookie problem so I hope by re-flashing the rommon the cookie will be restored.

 

[ISPKing]

hmmm, afaik you cant.
