Hello,
I have a Cisco 3550 Switch that I have been using to study for my CCENT1 exam. I realized the switch had the incorrect firmware and did not allow SSH. So I loaded the correct firmware through xmodem. The whole transfer took a while but the it eventually completed and said it was successful.
Now, when I boot the switch it gets through the majority of the startup procedures and loads most of the flash. However it halts after it displays the serial number of my switch, and also gives me some random characters instead of numbers.
Any advice? I figure I am probably going to have to recopy the IOS flash again.
