| I work at A large cable company and we have a few hundred Cisco UBR905 cable routers that our customers are using. Many of them started to go up and down intermittantly. We have determined that it is not a cable related issue. Every one of the problem routers has an error that appears in the logs:
132.CABLEMODEM.CISCO: 00:00:10: %PARSER-4-BADCFG: Unexpected end of configuration file
We have:
-re-written the running config
-replaced the flash file
-replaced the boot file
Has anyone ever dealt with this error before?
Does anyone have any ideas? | |

| This is what Cisco has to say about it.
PARSER Messages
The following are parser error messages.
Error Message
%PARSER-4-BADCFG: Unexpected end of configuration file
Explanation This message occurs when a configuration is read from the Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server or NVRAM and
the end of the file is encountered before the end statement. The configuration may be corrupted or incomplete. What was read is in
effect.
Recommended Action Make sure the configuration is correct. Then, to write the correct configuration to NVRAM, execute either a
copy running-config command or a startup-config command. To write to a network TFTP server, execute a copy running-config
tftp command.
Are your routers configured to look for a TFTP server for thier configuration. Can you dump the config an post it so it can looked at? | |

| Hey, thanks for the reply. We found that same explanation at Cisco and on the internet, but the problem is that we don't know which file it is referring to. Our routers have a basic config, but the CMTS routers push down a number of .bin files into our routers, so it may be one of those files as well.
We have speculated that a parser error is referring to an invalid checksum test and that the TFTP server is not working properly, but we are not sure of this.
I was hoping to hear from someone who had encountered this error before, preferrably using a cable router. I know that is a lot to ask. Thanks for the help. :-) |
