Model: C2600
IOS Ver: 12.0
This is a router which has just been put online after sitting idle for at least a year. After configuration (including "wr mem") everything works fine until a "restart" command is issued or a power-down cold boot occurs. After that, the router always enters the "initial configuration dialog" mode. If you say "No" to the prompt, you get a vanilla "Router" prompt and must reenter all config commands. Clearly, this is an inconvenience ;->
Has anyone seen this behaviour before, and can you advise what the recommended resolution is?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Dave.
Sounds like the config registery is set wrong. Do a "show ver" and if its at 0x2142 then the router is configured to ignore the startup config.
If this is the case then do.
router# config t
router(config)#config-register 0x2102
router(config)#end
router#wr mem
At the next reload the new settings will take affect.
