You cannot upgrade the flash via the console/aux port using xmodem commands
on a 2500 series router. The link below is for the 800 series router which
uses a completely different rom monitor version then the rom monitor
versions in the Motorola 68000 and/or the Risc/Power PC router systems. The
800 series systems use "Tiny Rom" for the rom monitor which does support
xmodem file transfers to the flash. The 2500 does not support this feature.

You have to use the token ring or the serial line to upgrade the flash, you
cannot do it over the console or aux. If you have another router with an
ethernet port, just use that then swap the flash simms, If you don't have
another token ring for your tftp server.

Subject: help_upgrade IOS via aux or con
Hey, All,
I have a Cisco 2504 (1 token, 2 serial, 16MB flash/16MB DRAM) with IOS 11.3.
I'd like to upgrade it to 12.1 with IP sec. I downloaded the IOS image
(c2500-jos56i-l_121-5.bin) and tried to upgrade it using the serial port and
type "copy tftp flash". It does't work.
I checked the config guide. It just mentioned "copy xmodem flash" for Cisco
1600 or 3600 seris using aux or con port. Is there any way to upgrade the
IOS using Con or Aux port for 2500 series?
Thanks in advance,
Ron
