Error loading "flash:c2960-lanbasek9-mz.122-37.SE1/c2960-lanPurchase a 2960 without IOS loaded.
Loaded IOS with Xmodem, and now getting the message:

After that it loads fine with the message:

That's your problem there... as far as the 2960's concerned, it can't find the BIN file. Are you sure you loaded it into the flash's root directory? Because from the output it's pointing to a subdirectory and THEN the file... not sure if this is a valid way or not for Catylst switches. Also, not sure if it has this function in ROMMON or not, I ALWAYS make sure to run a "verify flash:" command on the IOS after copying over. My 00000010bits Regards |

Its looking for a folder not for it in the root
Its normal on switches to get IOS via Tar that will extract to a folder with the same name short the .tar and in that folder will be a .bin also by the same name
the tar will have the bin and some other files (mostly HTML stuff IIRC)
you need to change the boot from flash:c2960-lanbasek9-mz.122-37.SE1/c2960-lanbasek9-mz.122-37.SE1.bin
to
flash:c2960-lanbasek9-mz.122-37.SE1.bin |

See step #5 » www.thegeekstuff.com/201 ··· s-image/Personally I prefer using the tars, so I have the web UI even though I don't use it. » www.handsomeplanet.com/a ··· ives/164BTW using the Tar files is actually the proper way, cisco's downloads of switch IOS's are all tar files, you're not supposed to extract them on your computer (though if you want to hack the web UI you can mess with the files in the tar and re-pack it) |

to hellohello5
Something I'm trying to resolve in my head hellohello5 The switch says it's trying to load c2960-lanbasek9-mz.122-37.SE1.bin, yet your flash says it has c2960-lanbasek9-mz.150-2.SE4.bin sitting on it. If 15.0.2SE4 is already sitting on there but the switch is pointing at something else, that'll need to be fixed as well... likely via the boot statement. If you can get to the > / # prompt, try a "show boot" and see what it says. Regards |

HELLFIRE,
That was it. Issued:
set BOOT flash:c2960-lanbasek9-mz.150-2.SE4.bin
And it booted without error.
Thx, |

normally you don't copy the tarfile to flash, you have it extract it via the commands I mentioned while its copying (not sure if xmodem can do that)
and ya the boot statement in there (if it was there) had been pointing to an IOS that had been loaded via tar. |

DarkLogix,
Got the full tar that includes the web UI with command you pointed out:
Switch# archive download-sw /overwrite tftp://192.168.1.118/c2960-lanbasek9-tar.150-2.SE4.tar
Thank you for your persistence. |
