IP ROUTE Command disapreaed

[rraazz]

I have a strange behavior, a router that was operating for years stopped suddenly, when you go into the router:
1. you see the ip configuration
2. you can ping the local and remote servers
3. the router lost all his static routes

I cannot put new routes and I CANT EVEN FIND THE COMMAND!!!


Any idea??? :-(

Once in enable mode, type "CONFIG T" and hit enter, then type "IP ROUTE ?" there... That's where it should be...

WEll, it looks like you are in the ROM IOS because of the (boot). Has the router always ran in that mode? I doubt it, but just wondering. If you said that it just stopped working one day then there are a couple possiblities of the problem. If it is starting in the ROM IOS then it could be the flash memory went bad. Just a quick guess though. If you could post the startup sequence of the router, and the "show flash" command then we might be able to figure this out.
