- Download something like HyperTerminal that support sending files via XModem Connect to the console port of the switch using the Cisco console cable and set your baud rate to 9600 Optional: you may want to 'format flash:' to make sure you have enough free space.
- If you are connecting to the switch via hyperterminal, power cycle it first and the press ESC in order for your to go to the main menu for the switch and then select download software after that, right click on the hyperterminal screen and then send the.ros file and then select Xmodem as the protocol.
- Use this xmodem procedure in order to download a Cisco IOS software image onto a Cisco 3600 Series Router. The standard procedure uses the default console speed of 9600 bits per second. Xmodem is a slow transfer protocol, and the transfer of a file as large as a Cisco IOS software image could take an unacceptably long time.

Alternative Cisco Switch Recovery
Xmodem can be used on a group of routers and is used in disaster recovery situations where the router has no valid Cisco IOS software or bootflash image to boot from and hence, only boots up in ROMmon. This procedure can also be used where there are no Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) servers or network connections, and a direct PC connection (or through a modem connection) to the router's console is the only viable option. Because this procedure relies on the console speed of the router and the serial port of the PC, it can take a long time to download an image. For example, downloading Cisco IOS Software Release 12.1(16) IP Plus image to a Cisco 1600 series router using a speed of 38400 bps takes approximately 25 minutes.
Usage
Here is the command syntax for xmodem.xmodem [-c] [-y] [-e] [-f] [-r] [-x] [-s border='1' bordercolor='#666666' cellpadding='5' cellspacing='0'>syntaxDescription-c(Optional) CRC-16 checksumming, which is more sophisticated and thorough than standard checksumming. -y(Optional) Uses the Ymodem protocol for higher throughput. -e(Optional) Erases the first partition in Flash memory before starting the download. This option is only valid for the Cisco 1600 series. -f(Optional) Erases all Flash memory before starting the download. This option is only valid for the Cisco 1600 series routers. -r(Optional) Downloads the file to DRAM. The default is Flash memory. -x (Optional) Does not execute the Cisco IOS software image on completion of the download. -s data-rate(Optional) Sets the console port's data rate during file transfer. Values are 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, and 115200 bps. The default rate is specified in the configuration register. This option is only valid for the Cisco 1600 series routers. filename(Optional) Filename to copy. This argument is ignored when the -r keyword is specified since only one file can be copied to DRAM. On the Cisco 1600 series routers, files are loaded to the ROMmon for execution.

Xmodem Procedure for Downloading a Cisco IOS Software Image onto a Cisco 1603 Router
Use the following xmodem procedure to download a Cisco IOS software image onto a Cisco 1603 router.Step 1 Launch a terminal emulator program.
In the following example, configure Windows HyperTerminal for 8-N-1 at 9600 bps and connect your PC's serial port to the console port of the router. Once connected, you need to get into the ROMmon prompt (rommon 1>). Typically, if the router's Cisco IOS software image and bootflash image are both corrupt, the router only comes up in ROMmon mode. If the former is not true and you need to get into the ROMmon prompt, you need to change the configuration register (typically 0x2102 as given by show version) to 0x0 as follows:
1600#configure term
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
1600(config)#configure
1600(config)#config-register 0x0
1600(config)#^Z
1600#
00:22:06: %SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by console
1600#reload
System configuration has been modified. Save? [yes/no]: n
Proceed with reload? [confirm]

Step 2 From the ROMmon prompt, issue the xmodem command. However, before issuing the xmodem command, ensure that you have the new Cisco IOS software image on your PC. Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
1600(config)#configure
1600(config)#config-register 0x0
1600(config)#^Z
1600#

In this example, all Flash memory is erased before downloading using the f option (only on the Cisco 1600 series). Perform a CRC-16 checksum using the c option and using a download speed of 115200 bps (only on the Cisco 1600 series) by specifying -s115200:
rommon 12 >xmodem -cfs115200 c1600-sy-mz.121-16.bin

Continue ? press 'y' for yes, 'n' for no:y
Step 3 Configure the terminal emulator program for a data rate of 115200 bps to match the xmodem speed specified above. This is done by closing the previous terminal session of 9600 bps and opening a new one at 115200 with 8-N-1. The trick here is that the Cisco 1603 only supports a maximum baud rate of 9600 bps. Therefore, when connecting at 115200 bps, you won't be able to see the router prompt. This is an important point to remember. Once connected to the router at 115200 bps, select Transfer > Send File.. from the HyperTerminal menu bar. File size Checksum File name

Step 5 Click on Send to start the transfer. 
The following message is received when the transfer is complete:

Please reset your terminal emulator to this speed..
Step 6 Per the message above, you need to exit your 115200 bps HyperTerminal session and restart a new one at 9600 bps. Once connected, the router's ROMmon prompt appears. Verify that the download was successful by issuing a dir flash:. Returning console speed to 9600
