I am greener than then hulk when it comes to cisco routers, but where I work just bought 2 identical Cisco 871 routers that I am expected to configure.
While trying to configure the first one I locked myself out of the SDM, so under the advice of the documentation I tried erasing the startup-config through a terminal connection. That worked, its gone now, but it doesn't rout, it doesn't DHCP, and using a port scanner I can't find an IP address on any of the e0-4 ports. I did a
config
int e (0-4)
no shutdown
to enable all the ports. Still can't get an ip address.
There is an unopened 871 I haven't broken yet, can I just copy the startup-config and running-config off of it and put it on the one I messed up? They both have 2 USB ports on the back, and I read that they should support using a USB key to move files about. How would I go about doing that through the CLI? I only have access through the terminal.
OR
If there's a way to do a master reset that puts it back to how it shipped that would be great!
