you put following command<br />
<br />
flash_init<br />
<br />
copy xmodem: flash:image_filename<br />

When the XMODEM request appears, use the appropriate command on the terminal-emulation software to start the transfer and copy the software image into Flash memory

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
at my CLI I only have a few commands<br />
?<br />
Boot<br />
cat<br />
copy...<br />

lost the IOS, need to reload the IOS

A switch is a device that filters and forwards packets of data between LAN segments. Switches operate at the data link layer or the network layer of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Reference Model and therefore support any packet protocol. LANs that use switches to join segments are called switched LANs or, in the case of Ethernet networks, switched Ethernet LANs. A hub is a connection point for devices in a network. Hubs are commonly used to connect segments of a LAN. A hub contains multiple ports; when a packet arrives at one port, it is copied to the other ports so that all segments of the LAN can see all packets.
