Please log in for more thread options I am new to Cisco environment. I am trying to upgrade the current IOS to ver 12.2 on a 2500 series router. I am taking following steps: 1) configure terminal 2) config-reg 0x2101 ^Z 3) router# reload 4) Router(boot)#copy tftp flash Partition Size Used Free Bank-Size State Copy Mode 1 8192K 5181K 3010K 8192K Read/Write Direct 2 8192K 5771K 2420K 8192K Read/Write Direct [Type ?<no> for partition directory; ? for full directory; q to abort]
Which partition? [default = 1]
System flash directory, partition 1: File Length Name/status 1 5305376 c2500-d-l.112-8 [5305440 bytes used, 3083168 available, 8388608 total] Address or name of remote host [255.255.255.255]? 192.168.1.100 Source file name? c2500-js-l.122-7.bin Destination file name [c2500-js-l.122-7.bin]? c2500-js-l.122-7.bin Accessing file 'c2500-js-l.122-7.bin' on 192.168.1.100... Loading c2500-js-l.122-7.bin ...from 192.168.1.100 (via Ethernet0): ! [OK] Erase flash device before writing? [confirm]y Flash contains files. Are you sure you want to erase? [confirm]y %Error: Image size exceeds flash size Kindly let me know if I am making any mistakes here. upon running copy tftp flash I get this option to select flash partition "[Type ?<no> for
partition directory; ? for full directory; q to abort]". I am hit
"enter" key on the key board for the full directory selection but I am getting above error message. My IOS image is functional I downloaded it to a tftp from a functional 2500 router. You can see that I have 2 flash cards of 8mb, looks like I have to take some steps so that both flash cards appear as a single memory location of 16 mb where I can xfer the image. I am unable to find any links on web at this topic and need yr help. | |||||||||||||||||||

Hitting return at that point is equivilent to chosing partition 1 ("[default = 1]") >You can see that I have 2 flash cards of 8mb, looks like I have to take
>some steps so that both flash cards appear as a single memory location >of 16 mb where I can xfer the image. I am unable to find any links on >web at this topic and need yr help. I don't believe that it is possible to combine two flash cards to effectively make one larger flash card. You will need a flash card that is large enough to hold the image on its own. >My IOS image is functional I downloaded it to a tftp from a functional
>2500 router. You are going from c2500-d-l.112-8 to c2500-js-l.122-7.bin c2500-d-l.112-8 is so old that the Cisco Feature Navigator disavows it -- it claims the 2500 only supports 11.2(15) and upwards. The d-l series is the IP/IPX/AT/DEC feature set. The js-l series is the ENTERPRISE PLUS feature set. >My IOS image is functional I downloaded it to a tftp from a functional
>2500 router. That sounds to me like you are not entitled to run the new feature set (ENTERPRISE PLUS) on the existing router (IP/IPX/AT/DEC). ENTERPRISE PLUS is one of the very largest feature sets -- the only larger images in 11.2 were the the ENTERPRISE PLUS 56 and ENTERPRISE/APPN series. In 12.2(7), there -are- no larger images. IP/IPX/AT/DEC for 12.2(7) is 8/16 for the 2500 -- that is, requires 8 Mb of RAM and 16 Mb of flash. ENTERPRISE PLUS in the same release takes 16 Mb of RAM and 16 Mb of flash. Your current image requires 4 or less Mb of RAM. Do you even -have- 16 Mb of RAM in the device? | |||||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options If you have two 8 MB partitions, there may be a command in your 'sh
run' that looks like this: partition flash 2 8 8 You'll need to type no partition flash 2 8 8 in the global config. You may need to format one partition before you are able to do this. | |||||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options Since the 2500 is run-from-flash, you won't be able to do anything
until you boot from the ROM image first. config-register 0x2101 then reboot. Once in the ROM mini-IOS image, you can investigate re-partitioning the flash to 16MB and reloading a new image. Steve Griffin www.blueconsole.com (Bluetooth Wireless Console Cable) | |||||||||||||||||||
