I am trying to upgrade my 2503 to ios 12.2 i am doing it via rsl the problem is that it keeps asking for a file called cpa25-upgrade-l.112-3.p i have hunted high and low for it on ciscos site and have dug up nothing can anyone shine some light on this or at least point me in the right direction??

Cheers

Fuzz
 
You'll need a CCO account, which you need a contract for. Min. requirements on a 2500 series router for IOS 12.2 is 10meg ram, 16mb flash for IP only software as well.
 
talk about taking the pi** i have just paid for this upgrade and now i need to pay again so i can upgrade to use the upgrade nah i think not cisco stuff great elite'ist attitude and support sux 🙁
 
Fuzznuts,

Please explain the entire situation. Can you post ram and flash? Sounds like you need a bootprom upgrade.

Running 12.2 on a 2500 series is incredibly difficult becast the 2500 series routers are WAY OUT OF LIFE technology.
 
Geeze, cut Cisco some slack! Cisco started selling the 2511 in 1993, roughly the same year Intel introduced the Pentium at 60 Mhz, probably deployed with 8 MB RAM and a 200 MB hard drive. To continue that analogy, you're trying to put the latest-and-greatest IOS on a router using ten year old technology without upgrading it in any way. That's like trying to put Windows XP on that old P60.

I wouldn't complain too much - The fact that Cisco continues to release their current software on a platform that old is amazing and really shows their dedication to their customer base. Most companies have long-since discontinued and stopped supporting products they sold ten years ago.

One thing to keep in mind, however, is that I'll bet you're out of warranty on this router. You don't need to pay Cisco's pricing for RAM and flash upgrades. Check out crucial and some other big-name memory makers and you'll find the upgrades are pretty cheap.

One of my motor bikes is older than that and i can still find parts and upgrade it 🙂 when i put a akraprovic exhaust on it i didnt need to buy a new wheel 😉


 
The error your getting is pointing to your router as a cpa2503 router. Is this router white if so it's a cpa2503 router and you need cpa25-upgrade-l.112-3.P utility to convert it to a regular cisco 2503 router to run the later images. Call cisco support they usually will give you 1 free tech support call.
