Recovering Boot and System Images
If your router experiences difficulties and no longer contains a valid Cisco IOS software image in flash
memory, you can recover the Cisco
IOS image using one of the following ROM monitor commands:
• xmodem—Use this command if the computer attached to your console has a terminal emulator that
has xmodem capability.
• tftpdnld—Use this command if you have a TFTP server directly connected to a Fast Ethernet port.
Using the xmodem Command
The xmodem command establishes a connection between a console and the router console port for
disaster recovery, if both the boot and system images are erased from flash memory.
xmodem [filename]—Establishes an xmodem connection between the console and the router. The
optional parameter filename specifies the source file containing the Cisco
IOS image.
Other options include the following:
• -c—Uses cyclic redundancy check (CRC-16)
• -y—Uses Ymodem transfer protocol
