All excellent advice. This is a test lab router, but looks like it need
some goodies installed!
Merry Christmas everyone!

Hi
I notice three things in your cut n paste...
1) From the sh ver, you have no flash installed. That is why it is still
booting from the ROMs. Better get some flash.
2) There is no DRAM installed either. The router is one of the 2500's
that
shipped with 2MB on board, of which the router is dividing up into 1MB
shared and 1MB for operations. Better get some DRAM too. If this is a
non
production router, there is nothing wrong with running 72pin parity 70ns
or
faster.
3) There is a time out in the Con, AUX, and VTY lines, i.e. if there is
no
activity for apx 5mins the router will discontect/reset the line. This
is
configurable.
