Cisco 2511 - Bootstrap Error
TheFoX21
Hey all,
This is my first time posting here, but if someone may have an answer to this I'd be greatly appreciative. I currently have a Cisco 2511 Access server as part of my CCNA lab. I recently booted it up for the first time since I got it and the first time it worked fine and I was able to start configuring it. Since then I've gone on to configure a few other routers and now when I come back to the 2511 it for some reason won't even bring me to the user exec. Below is a snapshot of the output when it currently boots. I know the CONFIG_NEWER error is just referring to the miniIOS in flash since it is version 11.0 instead of 11.2 if I ever downgraded my code some of the commands might not be understood. As far as I can tell though it boots up fine. There was no difference when I booted it up with or without connections to it. Whatever the case it won't bring me to any exec prompt to be able to input any commands. I do have a saved copy of the config that is currently running if it is needed. Anyone have any thoughts?
