Recover a Cisco Switch Missing IOS Using XMODEM | 2960 / 3560-X / 3750-X and More

This video shows how to recover a Cisco Catalyst switch.

If the IOS image on your switch becomes corrupted, it can be difficult to recover your switch. Some switches do not support TFTP and FTP without an IOS image installed. Additionally, the USB port may not work. In this situation, XMODEM must be used to transfer files in order to recover the switch.

The best and most clear cut explanation so far. Thank you very much brother. Much appreciated 👍👍👍👍👍

Doubt, does this delete or alter the previously existing startup config(other than baud rate)?

Hi Sir, I wanted to transfer the file
Below is my command:
copy

but I received an error called the xmodem operation already closed by remote peer. Tried flash_init also cannot. Do you have any idea on it?

[JacmB-pjuj]

Thanks for this. When I tried to send the file, it says READ ONLY FILE SYSTEM. Any suggestions please?
