RE: Cisco Workaround

My network consultant is the one who has the cheat sheet now, but all that was on there was how to upgrade the IOS. No other commands or anything. If my memory serves me right, all that was on there was:

copy tftp flash
<source IP where file is located>
<source filename>
<destination filename>

At that point it starts the flash process. When it's done, just reboot and it *should* work. Obviously it did not.

All the other config info is supposed to stay put. Which, when we do a "show run," everything did look the same as it was before. Just the IOS version changed.

I just joined this list so I haven't seen the whole thread on this issue, thus my company's particular issue may have been discussed already, but I thought I would see if I could get some help anyway.

Background:
We have a Cisco 827 router and a PIX 506e locally. Router being in front of the PIX. We also have a co-location facility that we are connected via a constant VPN tunnel. There we have a PIX 515e. The two pixes are what control the VPN/encryption.

Issue:
The pixes don't run IOS so we didn't have to worry about upgrading those. However, the router does. So we upgraded the router to the latest version. Everything worked ok, except, the VPN tunnel. That got knocked out. Keep in mind that I am no Cisco expert. I did the upgrade with the help of a
*cheat* sheet that Cisco sent us. All I did was copy the information. I didn't really understand what I was actually typing into the console (we have another network consultant that is responsible for the "understanding part, although he didn't know why it wasn't working either). :)

So after a little messing around we reverted back to the old IOS and everything was peachy. A couple days later they sent us another version to upgrade with and that did the same thing. Needless to say, we are still upgradeless.

If there are any suggestions out there, I would really appreciate it. If I didn't give enough info, please let me know, and I will get you whatever you need (within my power of course).

Thanks in advance,
Adam
