Factory defaulting 877 router disables CP and reverts to cli - help!

[Gareth Tomlinson]

having messed up the config on the router due to an ISP giving incorrect information and changing their settings repeatedly, I decided to erase the startup config and reload the router. no problem, except now it tries to obtain a TFTP config file until that times out, then reverts to the CLI and CP won't connect any more, CP Express won't start from flash.

Help!

Yes, I know, I'm dumb... should have copied my original config first before erasing.

Hi,

Once in CLI: enter these ommands

1) create a local username-password pair ------> user cisco privilege 15 secret cisco where cisco is an example of username/password

2)enable http server ----> ip http server

3) authenticate http with the user/pass configured in 1)  ----> ip http authentication local

4)configure line vty for local login ----> line vty 0 4

                                                                     login local

5) configure an ip address on same subnet as your host with CCP installed --->

       interface f0/0

       ip address 192.168.1.254 255.255.255.0

       no shut

6) You can use CCP now

Regards.

Alain.
