Sh run does not include "Config last saved..."

[rjtyrrell]

This is likely a simple explanation, though I cannot find information on it anywhere so any help is greatly appreciated.

I have two identical 7507 routers, with identical hardware, same ROM, same IOS, and same Bootloader. The configs are slightly different as they are on two separate networks, but primarily the same outside of IP addressing.

The only difference is that on only one of them, when a "show run" is issued, the output contains the "Configuration last saved..." and "NVRAM last updated..." info.

The second router does not provide this output.

Is there a command somewhere that I am missing to enable/disable this output?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hello Rob,

You need to set the clock of the router or configure NTP to record the date and time the config was last modified.

Router#clock set 22:10:00 21 June 2006

To record the user who altered or wrote config to NVRAM you need to have a locally configured user or AAA set-up.

Router(config)#username cisco password cisco

Router(config)#line vty 0 4

Router(config-line)#login local

Current configuration : 1337 bytes

!

! Last configuration change at 21:50:17 UTC Wed Jun 21 2006 by cisco

! NVRAM config last updated at 21:50:18 UTC Wed Jun 21 2006 by cisco

Thanks for the response, Leon. I did actually initially look at NTP, which is configured. However, due to your recommendation, I revisited it and after debugging, found that the ntp authentication was failing. After correcting that issue, the ntp resynched, and the "config last saved..." output has returned.

Thanks very much.
