Re: xmodem or interface config command in very old rommon

Hi Michael,

Thank you for your prompt comment.

I have confirmed that the RxBoot worked and recognized hardware properly
then successfully could upgrade IOS to c2500-is-l.112-18.bin via tftp (
via Ethernet ).
I also confirmed RxBoot could work fine as access server then we will
keep using this software and configuration.

Now my question is, however, why those IOS image cannot recognize the
hardware properly...?
Do you have any ideas?
