In my case this was set to “0x2142” which bypasses the startup-configuration, as you can see below by running the “show version” command Router#show versionģ2K bytes of non-volatile configuration memory.ġ6384K bytes of processor board System flash (Read ONLY)
The bad side was I was still no closer to getting my configuration actually saved on the device.Īfter doing a bit of searching I found some information on the “configuration register”, basically a pointer in the IOS that defines where the configuration will be loaded from. Good new’s is that I wasn’t been stupid and no matter what command I tried the configuration after reload was simply blank, like you would expect when your first power on the router. write memĬopy running-configuration statup-configuration So first thing to check is, am I using the correct command? I typed in the following and reloaded, sure enough the initial configuration dialog popped up again with no configuration loaded on the device. Would you like to enter the initial configuration dialog? : no I recently got my hands on a few Cisco 1760 routers to make up part of a frame relay CCNP lab, unfortunately when reloading the devices either using the command or by power the configuration was missing and I was presented with the following display: - System Configuration Dialog.
