RE: Strange problem with Cisco 2501 routers
I would need to see a "show conf" output for your interfaces. Ole Ole Drews Jensen Systems Network Manager CCNA, MCSE, MCP+I RWR Enterprises, Inc.

On startup, the routers behave normal, but after the "Press RETURN to get started" message, the routers come up with errors about the ethernet and serial interfaces, restarts and then hang up completely. Thinking that the problem may be with the DRAM, Flash or software, I have replaced these with ones from other Cisco 2501 routers in good working condition, but the problem remained the same. The typical output from these routers is as shown at the end of this posting. Any good ideas will be appreciated. Thank you.

Re: Strange problem with Cisco 2501 routers
The only startup errors evident in this output is this: > Unknown or ambiguous service arg - udp-small-servers > Unknown or ambiguous service arg - tcp-small-servers > Illegal IP keyword - classless You're probably seeing this because you are running IOS 11.1(7), but your config is pasted in from a router running at least 11.2. 11.1(7) apparently doesn't understand these lines: service udp-small-servers service tcp-small-servers ip classless You can upgrade your IOS or remove those lines from your config. The status messages about the interfaces are not strange in any way. They look quite normal, assuming the ethernet port was connected to something but the serial ports were not.

RE: Strange problem with Cisco 2501 routers
You're right, but I think he is talking about the UPDOWN messages. This could be due to a "shutdown" line in each interface, but it would help to see the configuration.

RE: Strange problem with Cisco 2501 routers
Do you have a TFTP server on the segment maybe with a file net-conf? It could be pulling a bad configuration file from a tftp server. Also it might be trying to pull a IOS image from a TFTP server that is not there. It might have a boot system tftp command in the config. I assume you just got these and you are experiencing the problem. Try going into ROM mode and change the Configuration register to ignore the start up config file (confreg 0x142). reload the router and see what the config look like. I have a feeling it is looking for something off a TFTP server. If you want you can make a copy of the config and then do a write erase. Change back the Config Register to 0x2102 (Router#config-reg 0x2102). Reload the router and see if you get the same error.

The ROM version of 3.3 catches my eye. Might be good to update those. Call the TAC.
