Looks like you tried reloading the IOS without erasing flash first...

What was going on with the router before you did all this? I mean, why did you reload the IOS in the first place? Practice? Was something wrong? Is this a different IOS, and you were upgrading?

Hi Burt

The switch stoped working and when i investigate the issue i found out the first part of errors, then i rewrited the ios, did a fresh rewrite and now it get's stuck here:

%Error: initializing transceiver port Fa0/1
%Error: initializing transceiver port Fa0/2
%Error: initializing transceiver port Fa0/3

Can you be more specific? Could be a hardware problem, hard to tell. More specific, please.

Burt

 

[abidu]

Don't know if it's an hardware error yet.The right IOS was loaded properly and i still get errors with the fa and gi ports. I have no LED light from the ports at all.

 

[burtsbees]

But what EXACTLY happened that caused you to reload the IOS in the first place???

Burt

 

[abidu]

The switch had no problem before all this, everything was working fine.
The port's of the switch stopped working i have no green light when i plug the network cable in.

When i investigate the issue i found out that i got this error:

After this point i re writhed the IOS and i still have the same issue with error on the ports.

 

[burtsbees]

But did the p[orts stop working before or after you reloaded the IOS? I'm getting that you reloaded the IOS to try and fix a problem...I'm confused...

Why did you reload the IOS???
People don't normally reload the same IOS unless they have a problem...

Burt

 

[abidu]

i was thinking that if i reload the ios the switch will work, but i was mistaken.
And yes the switch stop working before i reloaded the ios. i thing this might be an hardware problem.

 

[burtsbees]

I totally agree. That system board sounds fried. I have a cat2924XL with the exact same problem. I still use it, though...

Burt

 

[vipergg]

Thats an ancient code version , you could try a newer version but I think when you start getting Schan errors it is hardware related and has to be replaced.

 

[abidu]

I was afraid of this, anyway it worth tried...Thanks all.
