Cisco Catalyst 2900 XL

I would like to see if I am correct in my thoughts of the condition of a Catalyst 2900 XL I have on hand. It looks like it lost the image to fully boot the system and I am unable to transfer an image via xmodem and set the boot param to it. I cannot configure the system for the network so that rules out tftp.

Any thoughts? I am sure there is something I am missing.

I have not done this on an 2900XL but have done this many times on routers that had a bad image blown onto them.
hold the button in on the front while booting up which should take you to rommon1> and see if there is a command called tftpdnld if there is then do the associated commands

rommon>set

2. Set the IP address of the ASI/MRP.

rommon 2 >IP_ADDRESS=10.0.0.3

3. Set the subnet mask.

rommon 3 > IP_SUBNET_MASK=255.255.255.0

4. Set the IP address of the TFTP Server.

rommon 4 >TFTP_SERVER=10.0.0.1

5. Enter the filename to get.

rommon 5 > TFTP_FILE=

6. rommon 6>sync

7. rommon 6 >tftpdnld



that will give the switch the info it needs to download from a tftp server from rommon mode. like I said I havent done this on a switch only routers so try it and let me know what comes from it if I get on a 2900 soon Ill test it myself. (actualy just did this on a 2610 router last week hehe)
