Help!!! Problem with Cisco 2516
|

| Guys, Id really appreciate your help here.
I am learning on a Cisco router 2516. The problem is, after I switch off the
router, and turn it back on, my configuration changes are lost, and I am
forced to reenter those configurations. The configuration changes are made
by consoling in to the router through htyperterminal.
As I am still learning, I have just tried to assign the ethernet interface
an ip address. I can ping it from my PC so it works. But when I restart the
router, I cant ping it anymore. The interface is obviously shutdown, but
this was one of the commands I entered in global configuration mode (the no
shutdown command for this interface).
I have tried the following command,
copy running-config startup-config
which says it has saved the changes to startup-config, but when the router
restarts, all changes are lost!
I console back in to the router, and it prompts me to go through the setup
program.
I am not sure what to do, so that when I make changes, these changes are
applied the next time I restart the router without having to go through
setup again.
The IOS version is 11.3.
Any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks
Simon

| Your routers is most likely in password recovery mode. It tells the router
to ignore it's config. Do the following:
Router#conf t
Router(config)#conf-reg 0x2102
Router(config)#exit
Router# wr mem
Good luck,
-Brian
