Hey, i ran a copy tftp flash on my router and it said Cannot load flash:, and reloaded into rommon . tftpdnld won't work, it keeps saying illegal ip address. This is an older 2612 with no usb interface so how can i load a new image onto it from rommon?

Have you tried Xmodem yet? It's slow as hell, but works pretty well. Make sure everything you're inputting when trying to transfer is perfect. I had such a pain in the butt time trying to do it for a 2600, it turned out I was the one making the error.

you need to set the variables so you can use the tftpdnld command

IP_ADDRESS= <your ip add>
SUBNET_MASK= <your subnet mask>
IP_DEFAULT_GATEWAY = <your default gateway IP>
TFTP_SERVER = <your tftp server ip>

and you need to set the filename, use the "set" command to see what your options are

im using the ip address 1.1.1.1

ip_address=1.1.1.1

it says missing or illegal ip address in the parameter IP_ADDRESS
but the set command shows everything i have and it's right

yea cisco systems needs to develop a better way lol. IF there is a usb interface like on a 2800 then it's easy to just boot from that but wow, rommon is sure a pain in the butt
