As for obtaining new software for it, the 2600's have been EoL for a long time, and as such you cant buy service contracts for them any more. There are some "not so legal" ways to obtain more recent images, but I cant give you any specifics.
I'm just curious about that particular issue, as someone who cares for a fair amount of EOL gear. If you can't buy it, and your other option is to steal it, what do you do?

What's Cisco's stance on EOL stuff and upgrading software?
What do you personally think about the issue?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20746790 Sat, 05 Jul 2008 19:55:56 EDT Re: [HELP] cisco 2600 version 12.2 Help http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20744302 TomS_ : This page contains an index to a lot of password recovery procedures for Cisco equipment.

As for configuration, what do you want to do?

If you are studying for CCNA, there should be a clearly defined course of learning as per your study material, so work your way through that.

For anything else, you can use Google to try and find examples or have a look at the Cisco forum FaQ for some guides, and if you get stuck trying to configure something, we're here to help.

The latest IOS version for the 2600's is up around 12.3(22) or so, but you probably wont find a 12.4 version which is what the latest CCNA exam assumes you have been studying with IIRC.

I also strongly recommend against using HyperTerminal. It is a very appalling piece of software. Look for a program called PuTTY (its free to download). It is a much better program.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20744302 Sat, 05 Jul 2008 03:11:28 EDT [HELP] cisco 2600 version 12.2 Help http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20743699 biglifter600 : Hi All,

I recently purchased a used Cisco 2600 series router version 12.2 from ebay. I purchased the router to help me practice for the CCNA exam. I hyper terminald in and found out that it is password protected. Can i rebuild the router somehow, like i would a computer. Can i upgrade to 12.4 for free or is there software to buy. I really need to get into this router so i can start practicing. Any help would be gretly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20743699 Fri, 04 Jul 2008 22:44:27 EDT
