Thanks to all that responded. After trying several different ways the only
solution that was able to work was to put the flash memory from the 4500
into my 2600 router, and tftp the ios onto the flash and then put it back
into the 4500. I tried all the different commands built into the 4500,
nothing was working, it was a very old image of the RMON and did not have
any of the xmodem or other usefull commands.
Thanks once again

Subject: 4500 IOS upgrade problems
I have been doing research on this topic with no luck.
I have a 4500M router, that us using Rom Ver 5.1, there is 16meg of flash
installed in system. there is no IOS on the flash or in the router.
i am trying to upload an IOS to the flash to get the router up and runing.
There is no xmodem command on this Rommon, however there is a dnld command.
I have tried this suing different command arguments with no luck. i have
tried sending the IOS bin file from SecureCRT using Xmodem, and Hyperterm
using kermit, ymodem and different version of Xmodem via Console, none are
able to communicate with router.
Commands I do have are
rommon 1 > ?
alias set and display aliases command
boot boot up an external process
break set/show/clear the breakpoint
confreg configuration register utility
cont continue executing a downloaded image
context display the context of a loaded image
cookie display contents of cookie PROM in hex
dev list the device table
dir list files in file system
dis disassemble instruction stream
dnld serial download a program module
frame print out a selected stack frame
help monitor builtin command help
history monitor command history
meminfo main memory information
repeat repeat a monitor command
reset system reset
set set a monitor variable
stack produce a stack trace
sync write monitor environment to NVRAM
sysret print out info from last system return
unalias unset an alias
unset unset a monitor variable
When I put in some flash i got from a friend it appears to have some files
on it, which I am unable to remove with any of the above commands
rommon 4 > dev
Devices in device table:
id name
flash: flash
bootflash: boot flash
eprom: eprom
rommon 2 > dir flash:
File size Checksum File name
4209848 bytes (0x403cb8) 0xbdf3 c2600-i-mz.120-7.T
rommon 3 > dir bootflash:
File size Checksum File name
4209848 bytes (0x403cb8) 0xbdf3 c2600-i-mz.120-7.T
rommon 5 > dir eprom:
File size Checksum File name
3611 bytes (0xe1b) 0x9f7b uncompress
rommon 6 > meminfo
Main memory size: 32 MB. Packet memory size: 16 MB
Available main memory starts at 0xa000e000, size 0x1ff2000
Packet memory starts at 0xa8000000
NVRAM size: 0x20000
If there is anyway I can get an IOS onto this router, or if there is a way
to get a newer version of the rommon any suggestion woudl be helpfull
thanks.
