RE: help with tacacs authentication -- Now: how did I do this?
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.

RE: help with tacacs authentication -- Now: how did I do this?
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.

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.
