These are normal messages for a router booting without configuration.

CARLO CIANFARANI · ‎03-23-2012

Thanks for the answer....

So I can guess when a router boot w/o startup-config SETUP applies a "default configuration" in which, for instance, the interfaces are administratively shutted down (as implicated by message SETUP: new interface placed in "shutdown" state these interfaces are "new" from IOS point of view)

Does it make sense ?

thanks

Yes. This kind of topics is also covered in documentation, standard training, etc.
