Just got a Cisco 851 router, and I inadvertently erased the startup config.
I need toget back to it's "out-of-the box" original config.
'write erase' command did not get me back.
Please advise
Thank you
Boot the router up and then do a dir to display contents of flash.
Look for an SDM file ending in .cfg
If exists then do the following:
copy flash:fullfilename start
reload router and if asked that config has changed do you want to same then answer no. Should bring you back from the edge.
