in CCNA & CCENT
Hi all, got my CCNA on the 4th March (woohoo) and wanted to setup my home lab. Picked up a Cisco 2924 XL switch and downloaded with latest IOS for it (I work for a Cisco Select Partner so IOS' are easy to get) BUT

I can't flash it!

copy to or from flash not implemeted <<icon_confused.gif:

show flash

invalid input detect at marker (carrat under the l of flash)

Any thoughts?

    As the mighty Chris Bryant always says: don't panic

    2924 XL has a strange way of updating which can be found here:

    Read this as the procedure is different.

    IOS files for fixed configuration switches like the XLs and 2950s are generally free to download even with a guest account. The licensed ones like IP services for a 3550 probably requires a service contract though but I've never tried it.

    Thanks for that, trawled the Cisco pages for a guide like that, obviously haven't done the CCENT: How to browse our website yet icon_lol.gif

    Have successfully flashed my switch and am currently playing with vlans.

    Have also gotton hold of an 877, 877w & 3640 (with EIGHT serials and 2 ethernets!!)

    My lab rocks lol

    Create a guest account and log in with that. It doesn't cost anything and you should be able to download 2900XL IOS images.

    I have a 2912XL and a 2924XL.

    The 2924XL I loaded with a pretty bad IOS and had to upload the new image via xmodem. It was a pain.

    I really don't like the 2900XL series....

    But if you have any other questions about them, I can take a look at mine and try to help you out...
