Re: Cisco 2911 doesn´t save my settings

hombrezueloycretino · ‎07-26-2013

Hi brothers

I have a cisco 2911, I´m traying to configure it, but it doesn´t works this is wha I did.

1.-i connected to router by serial port by console

2.-Turn on the router and then show up some text like this:

Processor board ID FTX1552AKRK

3 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces

DRAM configuration is 64 bits wide with parity enabled.

255K bytes of non-volatile configuration memory.

250880K bytes of ATA System CompactFlash 0 (Read/Write)

--- System Configuration Dialog ---

Would you like to enter the initial configuration dialog? [yes/no]: n

3.-I choose yes and I configure everything Hostname, IP addres, etc etc.

4.-When i finish I must to check one of this items, I choose 2

[0] Go to the IOS command prompt without saving this config.

[1] Return back to the setup without saving this config.

[2] Save this configuration to nvram and exit.

5.-I check the config runing-config and starup-config and I got the current settings, hostname, ip adress, etc.

6.-Everything is ok so far, but when i turn of the router I got the same text to configurate it:

--- System Configuration Dialog ---

Would you like to enter the initial configuration dialog? [yes/no]: n

Is there something grown with the router? what´s is the boot file that sould I edit to save the settings?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

You should only get that prompt once when you setup the router for the first time. When you get to

Would you like to enter the initial configuration dialog? [yes/no]: n

choose no, then go to the cli and type the host name ip address, etc... make sure to save (wr) and then reboot.

Hi Dear Reza

I got that prompt every single time that I configure it and write to memory but when i shut down the power energy and then turn on I got the same prompt it doesn´t matter if i save the settings.

thanks for your time,

Ok, when the router boot all the way, can you issue "sh ver" and post it here?

hombrezueloycretino · ‎07-26-2013

May I ask a question,

I have done the reload process bypassed the initial config, typed en for enable conf t what the question is I know what I gave as a hostname prior to the reload, do I just type router the default and IP Address? If you'd like I can send the run start text file if that will help?

TIA for any help you may be able to give.

Hello

Form the show running-config I can see that the router has hostname PunisherNET and also I can see that you have already configured the IP address on gi0/0 and gi 0/1.

Regards,

Priyanka

lacroixjamie201938782 · ‎05-19-2020

Yes that is in fact true, all though if I use the reload command or the
power go which it has I have nothing but the base configuration options.
All my hard work is erased, I have a C-WS3550, C-WS3750, and a C-2960
switches that I use either write mem or copy run start on them all do the
reload command ans it boots as expected?

pkumari4 · ‎05-19-2020

Hello,

What I can understand from this statement of yours is that your cisco 2911 router is not booting with the saved configuration whenever it is booted.

Also, I can see that you have already made the changes with the config register, and I hope now it is 0x2102.

So, now please check if we have the boot statement in the configuration of the router or not. We should have a boot statement for the IOS image with which you want to run the router. In case if the boot statement is missing then kindly configure it on the router.

The command is as follows: Router(config)#boot system flash:<complete name of the IOS image file>

You can check the boot system using the below command.

Router# Show boot system

Regards,

Priyanka

I am not clear what is the question you are trying to ask. Is it about bypassing the startup config? Or is it about saving configuration changes? Something else?

The configuration you posted seems ok, except for the 3 static default routes where only one relates to address found on the router.
