Dear Anne,

You can deduct from the output:

Bit 14 is not set because Diagnostic mode is disabled
Bit 15 is not set because IP broadcasts do not have network
Bit 13 is set because the router will Boot default ROM software if network
boot fails

so the config-register starts with 0x2

Bit 12 and 11 must be set to zero because console speed is 9600.
Bit 10 is not set because we are broadcasting with one
Bit 08 has break disabled so it is set

so the config-register continues with 0x21

Bit 06 has   Ignore configuration disabled (default) so bit is not set

so the config-register continues with 0x210


Bit 00-03 is set so that it is either boot system or the default cisco2-4000

therefore the config is 0x2102

Pierre

Out of curiosity, what is the config register value you have set?

My router keep on trying six times to use netboot despite the fact that bit
13 is set. Cisco says "...the router will retry the netboot commands up to
six times unless the boot default ROM software if netboot fails bit (bit 13
of the virtual configuration register) is set. If bit 13 is set, the system
boots the boot help image found in boot Flash memory without any retries"

THIS IS WHAT I HAVE:

Bit#    Configuration register option settings:
15      Diagnostic mode disabled
14      IP broadcasts do not have network numbers
13      Boot default ROM software if network boot fails
12-11   Console speed is 9600 baud
10      IP broadcasts with ones
08      Break disabled
07      OEM disabled
06      Ignore configuration disabled
03-00   Boot file is cisco2-4000 (or 'boot system' command)

Thank you
