3620 memory requirements exceed available memory open original image

HI GUYS I loaded a new IOS but i loaded the wrong one by accident and now its exceeding memory. How do i erase it and load the right one? Now i can only stay in ROMMON. i tried to do tftpdnld but its not working :( Any ideas? Thanks experts


Sam,

I believe 3620 have a Compact Flash slot - just copy correct IOS image into the Flash module (may be in another router, compact flash reader or even photocamera), and boot from that image.

Good luck,

Linear flash only on that platform from what I remember. ATA Flash wasn't supported.

You a mistaking with 2600 series. All 3600-series routers have PCMCIA slots to use external Flash memory. The only limitation is that they accept 4-32Mb cards only.

Right, linear-flash only PCMCIA cards. They have to be linear, no ATA flash.
