RE: Confreg problem...help! [7:57732]
Robert, Aux could only work if you had configured the router before now to accept Aux connections. The only posible solution is for you to go through the console port. Using a PC with a Terminal emulator set its parameters to: 9600 baud rate No parity 8 data bits 1 stop bit No flow control Using the appropraite console cable, connect the router to the PC, run the terminal software and set the parameters as suggested above. Then: 1. Switch off the Router 2. Press [Enter Key] to connect to the router (do not mind, you will not see anything displayed on the screen) 3. ON the router and type in the break sequence (depending on your terminal emulaion software and the OS you are running, your break sequence could be i.Ctrl+Break ii.Ctrl+F6+Break iii.Ctrl+a+f iv.Ctrl+b v.Ctrl+End vi. Break vii.control+shift+6+b etc!!! which ever works for you.) 4. Then on Rommon Type confreg 0X2142 ..To boot from flash. 5. On rommon type Reset This makes the router to boot from flash and ignore its configurations. 6. Type No after the setup question of oress Ctrl+C 7. On Router type Enable 8. On Router#type copy startup-config running-config 9. On Router# type Config t 0. On Router(config-t)# type config-register 0x2102 1. On Router(config-t)#type end 2. On Router# type copy running-config startup-config With these you are set.
