Step 2 Enter the configure terminal command to

enter configuration mode:

Router# configure terminal

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

Router(config)#

Step 3 Enter the config-registervalue configuration command, where value is a hexadecimal number preceded by 0x, as in the following example:

Router(config)# config-register0x010F

Step 4 Press Ctrl-Zto exit configuration mode. Step 5 Save the new settings to NVRAM. Enter

the copy running-config startup-config command.

Note The new settings do not take effect until the system software is reloaded by rebooting the router.

Step 6 Enter the show version command to view the configuration register value currently in effect. The value is displayed on the last line of the screen display:

Configuration register is 0x141 (will be 0x101 at next reload)

Step 7 Reboot the router, and then perform a basic configuration using:

•AutoInstall (proceed to Step 8)

•Setup facility (proceed to the “Perform a Basic Configuration Using Setup” section on page 19)

•Configuration mode (proceed to the “Perform a Basic Configuration Using Configuration Mode” section on page 23)

Note Configuration register changes take effect only when the system reloads, such as when you issue a reload command from the console.
