Copy Running-Config Startup-Config doesn't work 1

[Logmaster]

Hi,

For some reason, I cannot copy the running-config to the startup-config on a Cisco 1811. Every time I boot the router, it asks me if I want to start the initial configuration and loses all the previously saved settings.

I manage to config the router and connect to it with SDM however once I copy the running-config to statup-conig and reboot the server, the router loses all settings.

Does this issue indicate a router fault? Is there a way to debug/fix this problem?

Regards,
Joe

Your configuration register is set incorrectly and is ignoring the startup config. Once you've booted the router, go into privileged mode (enable) and then into config mode. Type the following:

config-reg 0x2102

and hit enter, then reboot.

HTH,
John
