was set at 115200. I changed it before the holidays but forgot that I had

I need to do more studying on this topic, so forgive me for asking, but why
does the conf. reg change according to line console speed??  I thought the
confreg was just a setting telling the router whare to boot from?  Does it

RE: configuration register

2001-01-08 Thread Chuck Larrieu

The "1" in the last nibble there indicates that you are booting to rommon

e.g.
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/access/acs_fix/cis2500/2524/
boa/boamnt.htm#xtocid1109016
watch the word wrap.

You will need to perform the "password recovery" procedure, and change the
config register to 0x2102

If you are actually in the prompt rommon you can easily issue the "o/r
0x2102" command, then the "I" command to reinitialize. Assuming you have an
IOS in flash, your router would then come up normally.

Subject: RE: Configuration Register and Netboot Failure


Thanks for the 3COM URL, I am still perplex why my router is trying six time
to netboot when I have nothing in flash and nothing in NVRAM. According to
Cisco (Verbatim) the following should happen:

*-*-*-*

"If boot commands are in the configuration file, the router software
processes each boot command in sequence until the process is successful or
the end of the list is reached."

LAC: Step 1:  The router sees "boot system flash filename" commands.
Boot commands ARE in the configuration file.  The router software processes
each boot command in sequence until the process is successful or the end of
the list is reached.

*-*-*-*

"If the end of the list is reached without a file being successfully booted,
the router will retry the netboot commands up to six times. . ."

LAC: Step 2:  The router reached the end of the boot system commands without
being able to successfully load a system image.  The router tries netboot
commands for up to 6 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 helper image found in boot Flash memory without any retries."

LAC: Step 3:  We're now told that if bit 13 IS set, the 6 netboot attempts
WON'T be attempted.

*-*-*-*

LAC: This whole process hinges on the fact that boot system commands exist.
If boot system commands DO NOT EXIST, the system MUST ATTEMPT TO NET BOOT.
This happens whether or NOT bit 13 is set.  This paragraph doesn't say
ANYTHING about the boot process if boot system commands DO NOT EXIST.  Put a
"boot system" command in your startup config.  Your netboot attempts will
cease... (NO NETBOOT attempts will occur)

LAC: Remember when I first started to correspond with you regarding boot
issues - you wanted to know why a net boot wasn't being attempted on your
router?  I indicated that you had boot system commands set in your
startup-config file.  Once you erased your config, it attempted the netboot
again.  No boot system commands, netboot worked!

LAC: If you're still confused, I can try again - but please, let's take this
offline.




Please look at the following. My register is set to 0x2102 (bit 13 is set so
there should have been only one try with netboot)

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

I looked up the reference you make with respect to setting bit 13--it's a
confusing sentence but what it's saying, is that if you have boot system
commands set in your configuration files, a net boot will NOT be attempted
if bit 13 is set if no boot system commands are able to load a valid IOS

netboot.  You need to take the whole paragraph in in order to understand the
context of the statement...

I've been going through Cisco's site to find the xmodem commands that can be
used from within ROM monitor.  Some documents lead you to believe that this
functionality is available on all routers (it notes that the 3600 uses a
different command than other Cisco series routers), but I've found a few
documents that state that xmodem and ymodem is available on the Cisco 1600
series and Cisco 3600 series routers only.  Nothing like consistency in
documentation...

Try TFTP'ing the image instead.  As many have pointed out, 3COM's got one of
the best TFTP server products (and it's free).  Go download 3CDemon
(3CDv2r10.zip) from
http://support.3com.com/software/utilities_for_windows_32_bit.htm.  It can
be used on a Windows 95 box - and you can use subdirectories to organize
your files, and do probably everything you expressed that you wanted to do
in a previous email.

Hope this helps get you on your way!

Subject: Configuration Register and Netboot Failure


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"

It tells the router what to do at boot-up time.

The meanings of the config register -

Bit No. Hex Meaning
00-03    - 000F Boot Field
Stay at bootstrap prompt
0001Boot system image on EPROM
0002 - 000F Specify default netboot filename -
  ciscon-processor_name - where 2n15
6   0040Ignore NVM Contents
7   0080OEM bit enabled
8   0100If set (default) a Break command forces
system into bootstrap monitor mode
10  0400If cleared (default) all 1's equals broadcast,
if set all 0's are used for broadcasts
11-12   0800 - 1000 Console Line Speed - 9600 if not set
08004800
10001200
18002400
13  2000Boot default ROM software if network boot fails
14  4000If set use the net address with broadcasts, if
cleared use all ones/zeros
15  8000Enable dignostic messages and ignore NVM
contents


Bit 14  Bit 10  Broadcast Address
Off Off OnesOnes
Off On  ZerosZeros
On  On  NetZeros
On  Off NetOnes


So, 0x2102 =
  2 - Boot from ROM if network boot fails
  1 - Break command during boot puts router into ROMMON mode
 02 - Default file name for a net boot is cisco2-processor_name
 depending on what machine you have.





Can someone explain to me what I configuration register is and what it
is used for - it, of course, shows up on a show version command - I did
some looking around on CCO and all the information I found said to set
it when you upgrade the IOS to 0x2102 but I can't seem to find out what
it does or how it does it.

Thanks!
