can't overwrite running config

[jhayes]

Also on another 2611 router i make changes to the start up config, and they are saved. but when i look at the running config, there is this one line in my access list that won't get removed. its not in my start up config only in my running config. i tried running, copy start run, but the line doesn't go away. any ideas? i tried a reload and that didn't help.

thanks,

Hi Jimmy,

I think this post is missing some initial information. Could you please re-post the complete question?

Which line / command stays in the config?

Thanks,

here is my running-config

access-list 150 permit ip host 172.31.6.120 host 192.168.4.2

access-list 150 permit ip host 192.168.4.2 host 172.31.6.120

access-list 150 permit tcp host 172.31.6.120 host 192.168.4.2 eq ftp

access-list 150 permit tcp host 192.168.4.2 host 172.31.6.120 eq ftp

access-list 150 permit ip 192.168.6.0 0.0.0.255 192.168.4.0 0.0.0.255

access-list 150 permit ip 192.168.6.0 0.0.0.255 192.168.5.0 0.0.0.255

access-list 150 permit ip 192.168.4.0 0.0.0.255 192.168.6.0 0.0.0.255

here is my startup config,

access-list 150 permit tcp host 172.31.6.120 host 192.168.4.2 eq 21

access-list 150 permit tcp host 192.168.4.2 host 172.31.6.120 eq 21

access-list 150 permit ip 192.168.6.0 0.0.0.255 192.168.4.0 0.0.0.255

access-list 150 permit ip 192.168.6.0 0.0.0.255 192.168.5.0 0.0.0.255

access-list 150 permit ip 192.168.4.0 0.0.0.255 192.168.6.0 0.0.0.255

i want to delete the first two lines from running-config, but they won't go away, i want it to be excatly like startup config

thanks

Don't know if you have already tried this, if not, let me know if this makes a difference;

conf t

no access-list 150

exit

wr mem

conf t

access-list 150 permit tcp host 172.31.6.120 host 192.168.4.2 eq 21

access-list 150 permit tcp host 192.168.4.2 host 172.31.6.120 eq 21

access-list 150 permit ip 192.168.6.0 0.0.0.255 192.168.4.0 0.0.0.255

access-list 150 permit ip 192.168.6.0 0.0.0.255 192.168.5.0 0.0.0.255

access-list 150 permit ip 192.168.4.0 0.0.0.255 192.168.6.0 0.0.0.255

exit

wr mem

that will wipe out all my access-list won't it. i just want to kind of refresh the running config. the weird thing too, is that i can modify and make changes fine. but as far as those two lines go, they always stay there.

So did the earlier "no access-list 150"procedure work? It will wipe out the ACL 150 ONLY, not any other acl.

Are the unwanted entries still thereeven after this procedure?

Thanks,
