%SYS-4-CONFIG_RESOLVE_FAILURE

Since this happened to me, I thought I should share this.

Messages like this appear constantly:

*Feb 11 09:34:24.861: %SYS-4-CONFIG_RESOLVE_FAILURE: System config parse from (t

ftp://255.255.255.255/network-confg) failed

This is explained here:

The user receives the %SYS-4-CONFIG_RESOLVE_FAILURE: error message in Catalyst switches that run Cisco IOS code | LAN, S…

And here:

This default behaviour so long as there is no configuration in the system NVRAM. This can be turned off by configuring the device, or as follows:

1. Press return a few time to get to the IOS prompt.
2. Enter enable mode by entering "enable", followed by your enable secret, which you set when you configured IOS.
3. Enter configuration mode entering "configure terminal".
4. Enter "no service config".
5. Enter "exit".
6. Enter "write memory".

That should do it, and you should not see any more such messages and the new configuration will be written to memory. To check, you can use the "reload" command, which will reboot the device.
