| I have a Cisco 2524 router which I got off EBAY. when I turn it on it goes through teh initial boot, but then keeps saying it cannot connect to tftp://255.255.255.255/...
Is there a way I can reset it to factory defaults? I dont know how to get rid of this error.. | |

| enable, clear start, then power cycle the router to clear NVRAM
I can't remember the syntax of the exact command to remove the annoying tftp statement but in some earlier versions of IOS 12 that was a fefault command near the top of the config. Somebody else will remember before I fully wake up....

| If your router is trying to boot from a tftp server, then you may not be able to get the global config prompt. You may have to practice your password recovery to get to a point where you can issue the command yankee stated. Also, instead of clear start, use erase start. then reload. | |

| U also have to apply boot system 0X0 mode which boots from ROM to recover the password..... | |

you're right. I've haven't seen this in any of my books, though. I know that write erase command was used in ios release 10.3 and earlier, but I didn't know that there was another command. When you do clear ? at the privilaged exec prompt it doesn't list startup-config as being an acceptable syntax. So are we going to be asked questions on commands like this one on the test? | |

The newer command for "write erase" is "erase startup-config". U can see the comparison between them in the CCNA certification guide from Cisco by Odom... | |

I knew "erase start" replaced "write erase", but I didn't know "clear" was a valid alternative for "erase". Will commands like that appear on the exam since I can't find it in any of the books? |
