We have a brand new Cisco Catalyst 2960S that while connected to the console during boot is booting to the following:

File "flash:/c2960s-universalk9-mz.122-53.SE2/c2960s-universalk9-mz.122-53.SE2.bin" uncompressed and installed, entry point: 0x3000
executing...

MLG system
Project version:60s-003

Enter system please input command.

  • What is this prompt?
  • How do I bypass and proceed with a normal boot?

  • Are you sure it's brand new? It looks like it already has a configuration.

  • 100% sure, its one of three that I ordered from my rep at CDW. The other two are operational in a stack, I was adding this third one into the stack when it wouldn't join I noticed this. The prompt it non-functinoal as far as I can tell. I tried guessing common command s like ? and version and it returns !ERROR! for all.

  • If it's new I would call TAC, otherwise call your CDW rep and return it for a new one. Unless you want to sell it on ebay to someone who wants to pull the .bin and check it out.

  • I formatted the flash and am currently in the process or doing an xmodem copy of a new firmware to the unit. Will update when complete.

    Even better than TFTP would be USB, which I did suggest in my original comment on NE (before you deleted and moved it here). Works on 2960S switches quite well. However, to do TFTP from ROMMON, you configure the IP information in ROMMON.

It appears as though the IOS image was indeed the problem. I deleted booted into ROMMON, formatted the flash, uploaded a new IOS image and the switch boots successfully.
