3620 problems

[12122053]

I recently got my hands on a 3620 router. Im having 2 problems with it. All the time I powered down the router I lose the current configuration. I do a copy run start and wri mem ,still no luck. The router always goes into setup mode(strange). The other problem im having is i can't ping the ethernet interface from the router or clients. Here is my running config with a few debug statements. Thanks who helps!

Possibly the NVRAM is bad in your 3620, its a chip on the board that can be replaced, or maybe its not seated properly. That would explain the config not saving..... I assume that once the router powers up and you do a 'sho conf' and it shows nothing. If so, I'd say the NVRAM is suspect.

Enabling RIP and defining a network on the router should help with the pinging.

Thanks for the advice tiremd but I really don't think enabling rip will let me ping the ethernet port. Any other suggestions, thanks.

Misread your diag notes...thought you were having trouble pinging to the 3620 only from clients, not from the 3620 itself! What IOS image are you running? Sounds like a possible image bug or hardware problem.... I assume you've tried both the AUI and the 10BaseT ports on the NM card?

 

[12122053]

The image is d-mz.111-15.AA The router comes with 2 NM modules 1E2W and 4port ISDN module. 16MBDRAM with a 4MB Flash.

Check the confgiuration register setting for your boot-to-setup-mode problem (should be set to 0x2102).
As for the ethernet, I'll continue pondering...
If everything is coming your way then you're in the wrong lane.

 

[12122053]

Thanks fynx, I'll give it a try as for the ethernet I have no idea maybe a image bug.

 

[12122053]

I change the config register seems to be saving the running config to startup, thanks fynx! Im getting a new image for the router I hope that fixes the ethernet problem, thanks.

Well after changing my config register i am able to ping all serial and ethernet ports, stange im still going to upgrade my IOS, thanks who help.
