New problem, same equipment. I have set the conf-reg to 0x2102 by typing: config-reg 0x2102 end write memory reload then the show ver is below, with the conf-reg shown to be correct. Now, the router goes to a stage every 5 minutes after being idle, to this message which is below the sho ver here.

I remember some connections doing this, but I want to make sure this router is ok or I am going to send it back. TIA!

Hi Sounds like the config-reg is set to 0x2101 as the router has booted from ROM (R2501(boot)#) and not flash. The normal setting on a 2501 is 0x2102.
