Cisco 831
Thanks for the explanation, I was guessing something similar like that. I've finally settled down on ios image 12.3(14)T7 IP/FW/PLUS 3DES. This allows me the 3 features I wanted (for now), namely: dynamic dns, VPN, and demilatirze zone. I've tried one other 12.4 image with PLUS (only PLUS... -

Burt, I did it! Here is what I did: 1) used my "original" 12.3(7)T3 image, which is smaller than all the previous images I've tried. 2) used the tftpdnld without the -u switch. (I think the key was a SMALLER sized image!). Here's the screen capture: blue text is my comments red text is for... -

Here is what I did: 1) tried to reload a smaller "T" ios image using "tftpdnld" (without parameter -u), and the image did load successfully. Then I did this, rommon1>confreg 2142 rommon1>reset which rebooted the router, then I get error message, "boot: cannot determine first file name on... -

Yes I have the same router as thetdz. I was able to successfully generate a 1024-bit RSA key following your directions above. So this is done. Now I'll go check out Putty like you said. You may be right in that somebody must have setup a username before me. This router was used in a... -
Cisco 831
Thanks for the tips, I knew it was something similar but just couldn't get the exact syntax down. I'm picking a lot of cisco stuff just in this post alone. As a newbie, just the act of cracking into the console of the 831 and gain access to it got me excited, and getting the 831 to the point... -

Burt, first I would like to thank you for this post. I'm a total cisco newbie, and I've had the Cisco 831 for 6 months and didn't know what to do with it. After reading your post, I now have a nice router that was just a doorstop in my room. I know this post is old and didn't want to drug it...
