Well if it is some nvram or other that has become corrupted then a new rom won't help at all. What *exactly* did you type in. Was it "unset jEc_*qOF?8[.Ys" - without the quotes? What was the response? Is unset in your rommon help? I forget, do you have to "save" the new variables? Apparently so - "You must use the sync command to save ROMmon environment variables to nonvolatile RAM (NVRAM)." http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/routers/ps259/products_tech_note09186a008015bf9e.shtml Can you successfully unset the tftp variables? Also worth trying jEc_*qOF?8[.Ys=A ! well A is better than what you have jEc_*qOF?8[.Ys= ! may set it to blank. One thing going wrong here is that it would help if you said what you were actually doing. Ideally post output recorded from your sesssion. Edited and anotated as required to make it clear what is going on. People are suggesting stuff and you are not giving good enough feedback to come up with the next step. Also post the URL of the document(s) that you are using to troubleshoot.
From: swpa on 15 Sep 2009 21:34 Thanks, that mostly worked with the unset, however this is what is left, I cant seem to find the the right syntax for the unset as it seems that there are pipes, and redirects.

Looks like it is "unset jEc_*qOF?8[.Ys" Obviously do not type the quotes. Start at the top and work down until all the unwanted variables are gone.

Using control-V before each unusual character might work: it "escapes" the next character. -- Ronan Flood <usenet(a)umbral.org.uk>

You could also try putting the whole string in quotes, try single and double. Unix uses the backslash as the escape character. for xyz|abc try xyz\|abc or xyz^V|abc where ^V is press and hold ctrl press and release the V key release ctrl key or "xyz|abc" or 'xyz|abc' Since the prompt is >, I doubt it is a special character. Easy to test? In unix $ is used to indicate variables in commands. i.e. - roughly -- I forget the details exactly now. set abc fred echo $abc is how the $ might be used. Is the box working now that some of the garbage is gone? |
