Chapter 3 Initial Switch Router Configurations Configuring the Management Port Xmodem or Ymodem protocols. The Xmodem and Ymodem protocols support different speeds of file transfers. The maximum file transfer speed supported is 57600 baud. This functionality primarily serves as a disaster recovery technique where system images are recovered using Xmodem and Ymodem commands on the ROM monitor from the console port on your switch router. See the “Recovering a System Image Using Xmodem and Ymod

To obtain remote management access using Telnet, use the following steps: Command Purpose Step 1 Router> enable Enters enable mode. Router# The # prompt indicates enable mode. Step 2 Router# configure terminal Enters global configuration mode. You can also abbreviate the command to config terminal. The Router(config)# Router(config)# prompt indica

Chapter 3 Initial Switch Router Configurations Using the Boot Flash Memory SIMM Viewing the Contents of Boot Flash Memory You can perform the following tasks with the associated commands to view the contents of the onboard boot flash memory SIMM: � To determine which file system device you are accessing, use the print working directory (pwd) command. Router# pwd bootflash: � To list the directory contents of any boot flash memory media, use the dir [bootflash: ] command. Router# dir

Chapter 3 Initial Switch Router Configurations Using the Boot Flash Memory SIMM Backing Up a System Image to a TFTP Server To create a backup copy of your system image, you can copy system images from boot flash memory to a Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server. In some implementations of TFTP, you must create a dummy file on the TFTP server and give it read, write, and execute permissions before copying the file over it. Refer to your TFTP documentation for more information. Tips Bef

Chapter 3 Initial Switch Router Configurations Using the Boot Flash Memory SIMM Copying a System Image from a TFTP Server to a Boot Flash Memory SIMM You can copy system image files from a TFTP server to the boot flash memory SIMM for use in booting the switch router. It is a good idea to have a copy of the current system image on the boot flash memory SIMM in case the new image file that you copy from the TFTP server is corrupted. Note You can also create a backup copy of your system image b

Chapter 3 Initial Switch Router Configurations Recovering a System Image Using Xmodem and Ymodem Recovering a System Image Using Xmodem and Ymodem If you do not have access to a network server and need to download a system image, you can copy an image from a local or remote computer (such as a PC, UNIX workstation, or Macintosh computer) using the Xmodem or Ymodem protocols. This functionality primarily serves as a disaster recovery technique. See Figure 3-1. Xmodem and Ymodem are common prot

Chapter 3 Initial Switch Router Configurations Recovering a System Image Using Xmodem and Ymodem To copy a Cisco IOS image from a computer or workstation to a router using the Xmodem or Ymodem protocol, use the following commands: Command Purpose xmodem [-c | -y | -s ] Copies a system image from a computer to DRAM using the ROM monitor. The -c option provides CRC-16 checksumming; -y uses the Ymodem protocol; and -s sets the console port data rate or speed. Speeds range from 1200 bps to 5760

Chapter 3 Initial Switch Router Configurations Recovering a System Image Using Xmodem and Ymodem � To transfer from a local computer, connect the router’s console port to a COM port (serial port) on the computer, using a null-modem cable. The console port speed configured on the router must match the transfer speed configured on the local computer. Note If you are transferring from a local computer, you may need to configure the terminal emulation program to ignore RTS/DTR signals. You see a

Chapter 3 Initial Switch Router Configurations Updating the System Image Updating the System Image This section provides minimal instructions for updating the system image on your Layer 3 switch router. This procedure assumes that you are manually booting the switch router from a system image on the boot flash memory SIMM. You can also configure the switch router to boot automatically from a system image specified in the BOOT environment variable. For additional information on booting options
