Port Numbering

Port numbering conventions for Cisco IAD2430 series IADs differs from the Cisco IAD2420 series:

•An external Compact Flash card is numbered CF 0.

•10/100BASE-T Fast Ethernet ports are numbered Fast Ethernet 0/0 and Fast Ethernet 0/1 from right to left.

•T1/E1 ports are numbered T1 or E1 1/0 and T1 or E1 1/1 from right to left.

•The slot for WICs and VICs is numbered slot 0. WIC and VIC interfaces are numbered by interface face with this slot number and an interface number, beginning with 0 and running from right to left.

•FXS voice port numbering begins at 2/0 and extends to 2/7, 2/15, or 2/23, depending on the number of voice ports.

ROM Monitor Commands

Cisco IAD2430 series IADs adds new ROM monitor commands for downloading a software image by TFTP for disaster recovery and for FPGA selection.

The tftpdnld Command

The tftpdnld command downloads a Cisco IOS software image from a LAN server to Compact Flash using TFTP.

tftpdnld [-r]—Begins the TFTP copy procedure.

•r—Loads the Cisco IOS software image only to DRAM and launches the image without writing the image to Compact Flash.

The tftpdnld command requires you to specify certain variables in the following syntax:

VARIABLE_NAME=value

The following variables are required:

•IP_ADDRESS—IP address for the router you are using.

•IP_SUBNET_MASK—Subnet mask for the router you are using.

•DEFAULT_GATEWAY—Default gateway for the router you are using.

•TFTP_SERVER—IP address of the server from which you want to download the image file.

•TFTP_FILE—Name of the file that you want to download.

The following tftpdnld variables are optional:

•TFTP_VERBOSE—Print setting. The default is 1.

–0=quiet—After you enter the tftpdnld command, the prompt

Do you wish to continue? y/n:

is the only information that appears until the command completes successfully or fails.

–1=progress—Displays the state of the required tftpdnld command variables. Also displays progress characters to indicate successful and lost packet transmissions.

–2=verbose—Displays all progress print setting messages, along with error information. The information provided by this print setting may be useful when debugging interface link and configuration problems that may prevent connecting to the TFTP server.

•TFTP_RETRY_COUNT—Number of times from 1 to 65535 that the ROM monitor retries ARP and ACK. The default is 7 retries.

•TFTP_TIMEOUT—Overall timeout of the download operation in seconds. The range is from 1 to 65535 seconds. The default is 7200 seconds.

•TFTP_CHECKSUM—Performs a checksum test on the image: 0=checksum off, 1=checksum on. The default is 1.

•FE_SPEED_MODE—Sets the Fast Ethernet speed and duplex mode. 0=10 Mbps half-duplex mode, 1=10 Mbps full-duplex mode, 2=100 Mbps half-duplex mode, 3=100 Mbps full-duplex mode, 4=auto-negotiation. The default is 4.

After you specify the variables, you must reenter the tftpdnld command. For example:

rommon 1 > IP_ADDRESS=172.15.19.11

rommon 2 > IP_SUBNET_MASK=255.255.255.0

rommon 3 > DEFAULT_GATEWAY=172.16.19.1

rommon 4 > TFTP_SERVER=172.15.20.10

rommon 5 > TFTP_FILE=/tftpboot/c2600-i-mz

rommon 6 > tftpdnld

     IP_ADDRESS=172.15.19.11

     IP_SUBNET_MASK=255.255.255.0

     DEFAULT_GATEWAY=172.16.19.1

     TFTP_SERVER=172.15.20.10

     TFTP_FILE=/tftpboot/2600-i-mz

Invoke this command for disaster recovery only.

WARNING: all existing data in all partitions on flash will be lost!

Do you wish to continue? y/n: [n]:

Enter y to begin downloading the Cisco IOS software image. When the process is complete, the ROM monitor mode prompt appears on your screen.

Obtaining Technical Assistance

For all customers, partners, resellers, and distributors who hold valid Cisco service contracts, the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) provides 24-hour-a-day, award-winning technical support services, online and over the phone. Cisco.com features the Cisco TAC website as an online starting point for technical assistance. If you do not hold a valid Cisco service contract, please contact your reseller.

Cisco TAC Website

The Cisco TAC website (http://www.cisco.com/tac) provides online documents and tools for troubleshooting and resolving technical issues with Cisco products and technologies. The Cisco TAC website is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Accessing all the tools on the Cisco TAC website requires a Cisco.com user ID and password. If you have a valid service contract but do not have a login ID or password, register at this URL:

http://tools.cisco.com/RPF/register/register.do

Opening a TAC Case

Using the online TAC Case Open Tool (http://www.cisco.com/tac/caseopen) is the fastest way to open P3 and P4 cases. (P3 and P4 cases are those in which your network is minimally impaired or for which you require product information.) After you describe your situation, the TAC Case Open Tool automatically recommends resources for an immediate solution. If your issue is not resolved using the recommended resources, your case will be assigned to a Cisco TAC engineer.

For P1 or P2 cases (P1 and P2 cases are those in which your production network is down or severely degraded) or if you do not have Internet access, contact Cisco TAC by telephone. Cisco TAC engineers are assigned immediately to P1 and P2 cases to help keep your business operations running smoothly.

To open a case by telephone, use one of the following numbers:

Asia-Pacific: +61 2 8446 7411 (Australia: 1 800 805 227)
EMEA: +32 2 704 55 55
USA: 1 800 553-2447

TAC Case Priority Definitions

To ensure that all cases are reported in a standard format, Cisco has established case priority definitions.

Priority 1 (P1)—Your network is "down" or there is a critical impact to your business operations. You and Cisco will commit all necessary resources around the clock to resolve the situation.

Priority 2 (P2)—Operation of an existing network is severely degraded, or significant aspects of your business operation are negatively affected by inadequate performance of Cisco products. You and Cisco will commit full-time resources during normal business hours to resolve the situation.

Priority 3 (P3)—Operational performance of your network is impaired, but most business operations remain functional. You and Cisco will commit resources during normal business hours to restore service to satisfactory levels.

Priority 4 (P4)—You require information or assistance with Cisco product capabilities, installation, or configuration. There is little or no effect on your business operations.
