Recently I was working on one of my switches, .Cisco Catalyst 2900 XL and realized that it was running an old version of Cisco IOS. I am not sure what I was thinking but I deleted everything from the flash: folder and rebooted the switch. Well switch came back on but since there was nothing on it, it just booted into the recovery mode. rommon
Thanks to xmodem and hperterm I was able to load the IOS on it and boot it back up. Here is what I had to do:
Tags: Catalyst 2900 XL IOS Recovery, Cisco switch IOS upload via console, how to recover IOS on a cisco switch, Load IOS via console, Recover from corrupt IOS Cisco Switch, Recover IOS on a Cisco Switch, Recover IOS on Catalyst 2900 XL
before the XMODEM started sending the file, an error occured, it says
“transfer cancelled by remote computer”
Is there any settings needed to be tweaked?
Cisco Catalyst 2900 Series XL Model WS-C2924-XL
Badly need your help…
Thanks!
Not that I remember make sure you are using the 115200bps speed for the download. Are you trying to do it from the rommon? Here are couple of other links explaining the process in detail:
