Boot 4300 series router without dhcp don't want setup dialog.

Mark Wright

I have a config on a usb stick called ciscortr.cfg. In this config I have a eem applet that I want to run to configure the outside interface. But this applet will not run because the setup dialog "Would you like to enter the initial configuration dialog? [yes/no]:" is waiting for a yes/no. I don't want this dialog to run. Is there away in the config file to keep this from running?

Hey Mark,

1. Please try "wr erase" and reload the router.

2. "Would you like to enter the initial configuration dialog? [yes/no]:" Answer NO here

3. Once router comes up perform "wr mem"

4. Reload the router you should not see the initial configuration Dialog again.

Regards,

Bharat

Bharat, This is what I want to do.

1. do a "wr erase"

2. ship the router to a site.

3. put a usbkey that has a config and an eem applet on it.

4. insert a network cable to a network that does not have a dhcp server.

5. turn on the router without a console (headless) and have it read the usbkey and run the eem applet.

But the problem is if an interface is not configured then it will not finish booting and will hang the yes/no prompt. 

What I want from Cisco is a entry I can add to the config file that will bypass the prompt.
