Recovering from Corrupted Software By Using the Xmodem Protocol

Recovering from Corrupted Software By Using the Xmodem
Protocol
Switch software can be corrupted during an upgrade, by downloading the wrong file to the switch, and
by deleting the image file. In all of these cases, the switch does not pass the power-on self-test (POST),
and there is no connectivity.
This procedure uses the Xmodem Protocol to recover from a corrupt or wrong image file. There are many
software packages that support the Xmodem Protocol, and this procedure is largely dependent on the
emulation software you are using.
This recovery procedure requires that you have physical access to the switch.
From your PC, download the software image tar file (image_filename.tar) from Cisco.com.
Step 1
The Cisco IOS image is stored as a bin file in a directory in the tar file. For information about locating
the software image files on Cisco.com, refer to the release notes.
Extract the bin file from the tar file.
Step 2

If you are using Windows, use a zip program that is capable of reading a tar file. Use the zip program
to navigate to and extract the bin file.
If you are using UNIX, follow these steps:
Display the contents of the tar file by using the tar -tvf <image_filename.tar> UNIX command.
