[SNIP - directions on booting from ROM] Be sure your ROM supports the new IOS rev or it will not come back properly. Also note, a 2501 booted from ROM does not have full functionality. For instance, most older ROMs did not support FR sub-interfaces. In fact, some older ROMs did not even support ip routing, so you had to use the "ip default-gateway" command or have a TFTP server on the same network. (The default-gateway command is ignored if ip routing is running.) > Jon Lewis *[email protected]*| Spammers will be winnuked or TTFN, patrick -- I Am Not An Isp - www.ianai.net ISPF, The Forum for ISPs by ISPs, <http://www.ispf.com> "Think of it as evolution in action." - Niven & Pournelle (Enable?
