This completes the procedure for upgrading your boot helper (boot loader) image. For more detailed instructions on loading and maintaining system images and microcode, including boot helper images, refer to the Cisco IOS Configuration Fundamentals Configuration Guide, which is available on Cisco.com.

Boot Prompt: (boot)#

Use this procedure to recover a router stuck at the boot prompt:

Step 1 Ensure you have connectivity to the TFTP host that is storing the Cisco IOS image by using the ping command to ping the TFTP host.

7201(boot)# ping 2.0.0.2

Type escape sequence to abort.

Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 2.0.0.2, timeout is 2 seconds:

Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/1/1 ms

Step 2 Copy the valid Cisco IOS image on the TFTP server to the CompactFlash Disk using the copy tftp destination-flash-file-systemcommand and follow the prompts.

7201(boot)# copy tftp disk0:

Address or name of remote host [2.0.0.2]? Source filename []? path/path/c7200p-js-mzDestination filename [c7200p-js-mz]?

Accessing tftp://2.0.0.2/path/path/c7200p-imagename...
