Hi,

Anyone can help me? I have a new router and I started configuring. I always get these annoying messages

%Error opening tftp://255.255.255.255/network-confg (Timed out)

%Error opening tftp://255.255.255.255/cisconet.cfg (Timed out)

%Error opening tftp://255.255.255.255/router-confg (Timed out)

How to disable this feature in IOS 12.3?

Is this the line that causing it?

!

boot-start-marker

boot-end-marker

!

Also, those messages make the boot time for the router very long

Thanks,

RJ

Hi RJ,

Can u post ur config

Try the command

no service config

These error messages are related to the default service configuration option built into Cisco IOS software which attempts to access the service configuration files from a network Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server.

To disable this feature, enter the no service config global command.

Router#config terminal

Enter configuration commands, one per line.

Router(config)#no service config

Router(config)#exit

Router#copy running-config startup-config

At the next bootup of the router, the error messages should no longer appear.

it did not work and i still receive error messages

Can you post your current running config?
