noob needs some guidance... 2

[thickage]

I am playing with a Cisco 2514 router (I'm just using it for practice, really!!!)

I've connected the terminal adapter and cable to the router's console port, then I started a HyperTerminal session (9600-8-N-2), and get the following stuff (listed below) and it seems to hang on the last line:

Questions:
----------
1. What's going on here!? Why can't I see the router user exec mode, or why won't it continue past the point I'm at?

2. Since this is a test router, I don't mind resetting the configuration and starting as if it were new out of the box - is there an easy way to reset the configuration?

Minue,

Thanks for the response. I have tried setting 8-N-1 and get the same results. I have also tried to hit the enter key to get beyond that point and have had no luck.

Power cycle the router while consoled in, and within about 10 seconds or so, initiate a break (ctrl-break). Does it give you the
rommon1>
prompt? if so, then do this...
rommon1>confreg 2102
rommon2>reset.

Then see what it does.

confreg 2102 gives internal command error (or something like that)

 

[brianinms]

On a 2500 its "o/r 2102" and then "i" to reboot.

Thanks, BrianinMS - looks like that'll do the trick...

Oh, my bad...I should pay more attention.
