2501 not holding configuration 1

[khanza]

Whenever I config my router I do a 'copy run start'

Then I reboot it, and it has no config....

What could cause this?

Anyone know?
Thanks,
khan

Do a show version and look at the configuration register settings, it should say:

Configuration register is 0x2102


if it has a 0x2142 value then it is ignoring the configuration stored in NVRAM. If this is the case, go to configuration mode and enter the following command:

config-register 0x2102


save the changes and reboot the router.

it says my config register value is "0x42"

Do you know anything about this?

O thanks man -- after I changed it to 0x42 to reset the password -- I guess I didn't change it back!

Thanks man -- I have a couple routers so far with the same problems!

You rock!

O -- and my issue with putting resetting it was because I forgot to enable/configure terminal...

Thanks!

0x42 means it will load the IOS from Flash memory and it will ignore the configuration stored in NVRAM.

You need to change it to 0x2102
