Hi to everyone.
I've got a cisco 4500 without flash and bootflash and a pair of share flash banks for cisco 4000 series (16mb each). Now, i'd like to use one of these as bootflash for the 4500, so i need to put the right image on the bootflash... I've got a 4700 which is working with no problems, that's what i tried to do: Removed all flash from the 4700 except the bootflash, placed a 16mb empty bank on the machine, and copied the file c4500-boot-mz.122-31.bin from the
4700 bootflash on the empty flash (erasing it). alas putting the newly flashed memory on the 4500 didn't work, from rommon i get this:
rommon 11 > b bootflash: unknown flash device - mandev code = 0xbad0 cannot read flash info getdevnum warning: device "boot flash" has size of zero unknown flash device - mandev code = 0xbad0 cannot read flash info getdevnum warning: device "boot flash" has size of zero open: read error...requested 0x4 bytes, got 0xffffffff trouble reading device magic number boot: cannot open "bootflash:" boot: cannot determine first file name on device "bootflash:"
Anyone got another idea about restoring the bootflash on my 4500?
Thanks, Hkz
