Cisco Switching/Routing :: 850 Not Saving Startup Configuration
Jan 18, 2012
I have a Cisco 850 router that whas having problems getting an ip address via DHCP. I did some stuff on it but that didn't work, so I rebooted the router to go back to my last saved startup config. When I turned it back on and connected t othe CLI console I got the "Would you like to enter the initial configuration dialogue?" message. Thinikng I just forgot to save anything to the startup config I went through the initial set up again and made sure to save everything to the startup config. After going through the intial config and setting up a vlan to assign DHCP to clients I saved the config and rebooted, upon reboot and connecting to the CLI console I got the same "Would you like to enter the initial configuration dialogue?" message. Tryign the setup once more and making sure everything was saved to startup config I rebooted again just to make sure the changes would stick, and sure enough they didn't. Whay is the config not saving to the startup config?
I'm running LMS3.2 and RME 4.3.1. I deployed a netconfig job to our network which consisted of approximately 800 devices.The report said that the job completed successfully however some of the devices didn't save thier running config to startup.
Is it possible to add a command or issue another netconfig job just to save the running config, so I can identify if the job fails on some devices? Using the tick box in the netconfig job doesn't seem to alert you if its not successful.
I have a 1711 Catalyst router hooked up behind a cable modem. I configured the router, copied running-config to start up-config then wrote it to memory with "write mem". I unplugged router to move it and when I plugged it back in, I had to start from scratch.
Is this normal, or should router be able to save configuration if powered down?
BTW, I'm using Putty to access router console. Is that the hot setup for Windows 7 or is there something better?
I currently am trying to program the config for a 1720 router however i cannot get the config to stick. I boot up to the command prompt put in all the configurations use the "write mem" command and then hard reset the router but when it boots back up I get the initial system configuation dialog.
I have tried booting to the rommon prompt and typing "confreg" and following the prompts keeping all options set to no except for this setting
"enable "ignore system config info"? y/n [n]: Y"
Is set to yes. but when i get to the end of the config it just loops and starts over with
"you wish to change the configuration? y/n [n]: Y"
If i choose yes it loops if I choose no it goes back to the rommon prompt.
I messed up the IOS on the flash of CISCO881-SEC-K9. On reboot it booted to ROMMON which allowed me to tftp up a working IOS c880data-universalk9-mz.151-4.M3.bin. Unfortunately somewhere in my playing around the default startup configuration factory loaded on the routerhas been erased. I can load a new a config on the device but as I'm using the router to learn its useful to have the original config load when I factory reset the device. What is the factory start up config?
I have reconfigured the FEX numbers attached to a Nexus 5548 running on NXOS5.2 If I do show running-config the interfaces are not there anymore. But if I do show startup-config the old Fex interfaces still shows up. I did try write erase then saved the running-config and its still there.
I was wondering if I can force catalyst 2960 to skip startup config stored in NVRAM and boot with no config everytime it is powered. I tried to find it on google and in cisco white papers but still no luck. I found only commands that begin with "set boot config-register ... ", but switch acts like it does not know these commands.
I have an 877W router that I would like to have a 2nd pre-configured backup for. I was thinking of getting another 870 series (probably an 877) router, as the more expensive wireless option is not actually required. Am I right to assume that I could simply copy the contents of my current config.txt file onto the second router?
I was configuring a new Catalyst 2960 switch and had forgotten to set the speed back to 9600 after downloading the new IOS software image. I finished doing all of my configurations and went in to line con 0 to change the speed back to 9600. The change was accepted and I did a 'wr' to save the change, but when I reload the switch it is back to 115200.
I'm having 1841 Router, its configuration is not getting safed. If I reboot the router all my running-config is like default. But when I check my sh startup all the configuration which I did is displayed. Checked the config-registery too and its 0x2142 changed too 0x2102 still the same problem, when reloading the router all the running config is disappeared.
I have a couple of SF300-24 switches. When I made needed configurations using CLI or GUI and then saved all configurations. The problem is that switches do not save configurations after reboot.
I have a number of SFE2000 10/100 24 port POE switches. They are configured and running OK. I want to be able to save the configuration and be able to load that saved configuration into another new swich in the case of a failure.
I have logged in and gone to Admin-File Management-Save Configuration. I then select the 'Backup' radio button and TFTP the configuration to my TFTP server. All works OK and I have a readable text file with the switch configuration on my TFTP server.
I want to be able to restore that saved configuration on to a new switch. I have set the new switch back to factory defaults. I go to Admin-File Management-Save Configuration. I then select the 'Upgrade' radio button and try and uploade the file into the switch. If load to 'Running Configuration' the switch shows a status of 'Copy Finished' but says 'Copy completed with errors' If load to 'Startup Configuration' the switch shows a status of 'Copy Failed' and says 'Copy completed with errors'
I am guessing I should be able to load my saved Configuration back into a switch, shouldn't I??
And yes the switches are running the same firmware 3.0.0.17
I have a Catalyst 3560-X PoE that suddenly stopped working. I plugged in via console and below is the output I received. It scrolls constantly and I am unable to enter ROMMON mode or stop it from scrolling. I've read of a possible problem with the IOS version but I'm unable to verify due to not being able to stop the scrolling.
Switch uptime is 4 minutes, 4 seconds cisco WS-C3560X-24P (PowerPC405) processor (revision A0) with 262144K bytes of memory. Processor board ID FDO1522R2AY
I have manual Cisco 1812 (1811) Integrated Srvice Router Cabling and Installation in front of meI have Cisco 1811 connected to my laptop according to this manualI have Cisco SDM latest version installed on my laptopI have DHCP enabled on my laptopThe problem that my laptop can't get valid IP adreess from the router (see att. laptop_, laptop_2)
Which IP address I have to use in order to get access to router inrerface (see. SDM_1)?
Using the SGE 2010 for Microsoft NAP with 802.1x auth for switch access, which led to a few issues
What i have: An SGE 2010 48 port switch, firmware 3.0.0.17 Firmware upgrade: In order to ensure im not having problems due to old firmware, i tried to upgrade using ros_ls1_bp_ge_bx-3020.ros in order to move to 3.0.2, when uploading the file via TFTP, the upload completes and thats it, nothing happens.Restarting the device: As part of the upgrade process, i thought i might of had to reboot, so i rebooted, and found that all my settings were wiped clean, as if a factory reset had been performed.... and add further to pain, the backup of settings that i had taken do not seem to want to re-apply.NAP support: So i have tested my NPS (radius) server with NTRadping.exe and all is good, however i cannot get the SGE2010 to talk to it.... the authenticator state in the web interface is always listed as initialising.... im not sure if this is a simple incompatibility (hence the attempt at a firmware upgrade), a tag that needs to be set on the radius side or a switch misconfig.
1) how on earth do you upgrade the firmware?
2) why are none of my settings being saved when the device reboots ?
don't have an option to connect a console cable to my cisco router. The usb to serial converter will not work in windows7 only on XP.have physical access to my 881 Cisco Router. If I remember correctly these routers have a default ip address. This router is brand new, out of the box. I am thinking I can access it with the correct IP via network instead of console.
We have recently purchased 2 x 4900M switches with the following configuration:
2 x X2-10GB-SR installed in port te1/1, 1/2 (optical)
1 x 20 x 1GB RJ45 installed in the top left of chasis ge2/1 - 2/20
1 x WS-X4908-10G-RJ45 8 port 1/2 card in the top right of chassis te3/1 - 3/8
We have te1/1 connecting the 2 switches, and various vlan's and connections on the 1GB RJ45's with no problems.
However, we have a number of 10Gbps BaseT connections te3/1 - te3/5 which are causing us issues. On a reload of the switch or removal / re-install of the cable it can take anywhere up to an hour for the port to become active again. So when we reload the switch, we may get a connection come up after say 3 mins, but the port next to it may not come up for 15-60 min. The cabling is all the same (CAT6 and has been tested/verified) and all connections go to Broadcom 10Gb cards in Dell 820 servers running vmware. We have the following set on the ports:
switchport mode access spanning-tree portfast
No speed or duplex can be set on these ports - these options are not available in the config.
Once a link is finally established, it will hold the link solid with no problems, but this is a problem for us, we can't have a reboot take an undetermined amount of time for the link to come back.
We were having a discussion in my group about startup vs running configs, and how often some network managers forget to "click save" when they configure a switch. Is there a way to configure Ciscoworks to copy the running config to the startup?
There are two issues which are testing my resolve.
1) Bad Cryptochecksum Ignored error 2) Unable to boot to a save startup-config file.
I want to take the configuration from one ASA 5505 and move it to another ASA 5505. I copied the startup-config file from an ASA 5505 running asa821-k8.bin to an ASA running 8.222-k8 to flash using tftp. I set the boot config parameter on the new asa to flash:/startup-config which is the location of the startup file. If I use copy run start command, I over write the startup file. When I copy the startup configuration to the running configuration I get a Bad Cryptochecksum Ignored error and the startup file does not copy over to the running file. How can I resolve this issue?
I have pair of ASA 5550 and I am trying to copy a new config to my member1 (active) as the new configuration I want to use for the pair. I want to copy this to start-up config on member1 and then reload member1 and have it copy the same config to member2 (stdby). I guess I am trying to understand if I copy the configuration to member1 and reload it, member 2(stdby) will have become active and try to copy the old configuration to member1 which I do not want.
get the commands straight that I need to execute to make sure the new startup config gets to both members without being overwritten?
Facing issue with 2960G switch , where its do not display "logging trap informational " in show running and show startup .where its showing all other levels from 0 to 5 and 7 after configuration and save commands. [code] after config getting saved , it do not shows in show runn or in show startup while for all other levels it do show the config lines .I tried the same on 12.55.SE release also but its same results . Is this a limitaion of this platform, is there any doc explaining the same for reference. [code]
I am position to migrate from CatOS 6509 switch to native IOS 6509 switch. long time ago, there was some site to convert automatically based on copy and paste onto the tool, but i can not find.
Does anybody know how to convert CatOS configuration to Native IOS configuration ? It is not IOS change, but it is configuration convert.
In 3750 switch,I have configured intervlan routing.I have three vlans Vlan 10,vlan 20,Vlan 30 and I have assigned IP address for that Vlan.In vlan 10,I have connected one systen gigabitethernet 0/1 interface.From my system I am able to ping vlan 10 ip address but I can't able to ping other vlan ip address (vlan 20,vlan 30).Is it possible to up the protocol for all that time.
I've one Cisco 3750G-12S with ip routing enable, the swtich is with IP Service firmware, with PRR support.Currently set my default static route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.1.18.71 to my Firewall A Currently all of the VLAN for will be routed to 10.1.18.71
I've created a new VLAN 2 for my 10.1.2.0/24 network with the VLAN interface 2 ip address 10.1.2.10, my intention is to route 10.1.2.0/24 traffic to my 10.1.2.1 by creating the access list and route-map.
I've configure my test pc with a static ip and my gateway pointing to 10.1.2.10 (VLAN 2 gateway) , i'm not able to route to 10.1.2.1.
I was recently given a PIX 501 router. I am very new to the world of Cisco, but want to learn. I got a few things setup on the router but, am not sure how to get it to use my DSL connection. My DSL modem IP is 192.168.2.1. Below is my router config. What more do I need to do? Also, is the outside IP not the IP of the DSL modem?
how to backup the configuration of ACS 5.3 then restore it on the secondary ACS 5.3 Appliance in order to save time without configure the 2nd Appliance?
i have linksys modem which already running for differents vlans i cerated another different vlans 10 amd 20 for 10 and 20 i need internet how should i configure internet on another core switch3750
I have been using a Cisco 877 to connect to BT broadband and it was working fantastically with no issues. For reasons outwith my control we have moved to 02 and I cannot get the cisco router to connect (the supplied router works fine). O2 support is limited as they say they will not assist in the config of third party routers but they have supplied the below (the line has a static IP). I have also included my current config which was working fine with BT. I have attempted to write in the updated info but have been unable to get the line to connect. [code]
i have a router 2921 with the aproprieted voice card for E1 and licenses. I would like to know how to configure it for incoming and outgoing calls. I already configured the ephone and SIP phones for internal calls. now i just need to configure it for send and receive external calls.
