[c-nsp] upgrading IOS on a 2610xm question

[Daniel Hooper]

Are you sure there's not an option in the rommon to configure Eth 0/0
with an ip address and do a tftp transfer ? uploading via x/y modem
takes donkeys years .. Especially if your image is around the 12-14mb
size.

Here's some doc from cisco.com about it:

When you say serial, I assume you mean console?

Could you not do a xmodem upload using console?

Here is an example of the xmodem command issued on a Cisco 2620 Router:

    rommon 1 >xmodem -?
    xmodem: illegal option -- ?
    usage: xmodem [-cyrx] <destination filename>
    -c  CRC-16
    -y  ymodem-batch protocol
    -r  copy image to dram for launch
    -x  do not launch on download completion

Examples

    rommon 12 > xmodem -cfs115200 c1600-sy-mz.121-16.bin
    rommon 2 > xmodem -c c2600-is-mz.122-10a.bin

Notes:
    * The xmodem transfer only works on the console port. You can only
download files to the router. You cannot use xmodem to get files from
the
router.

    * It is also important to note that the -sdata-rate option is only
available on the Cisco 1600 Series Routers and was implemented to
overcome
the console baud rate limitation of 9600 bps. If you specify -sdata-rate
of
115200 bps for example, you can increase the download rate and hence,
reduce
download time. Other Cisco routers support console speeds up to 115200
bps.
Therefore, the -sdata-rate option is not required.

    * Ensure that the PC serial port is using a 16550 universal
asynchronous
transmitter/receiver (UART) if you are downloading a Cisco IOS software
image through the router's console speed at 115200. If the PC serial
port is
not using a 16550 UART, it is recommended that you use a speed of 38,400
or
lower.

Can someone point me at the appropriate link for upgrade instructions to

install IOS for the first time if you're say upgrading flash and no
previous

image exists.  I tried the serial option and it didn't work for me for
some 
reason so I wanted to review and the google gods were not smiling on me.

Thank you
