Changing the Configuration Register Settings
Changing the Configuration Register Settings
You can change the configuration register settings from either the GRUB or the Cisco IOS XE CLI. This
section describes how to modify the configuration register settings from the Cisco IOS XE CLI.
To change the configuration register settings from the Cisco IOS XE CLI, complete the following steps:
Step1 Power on the router.
Step2 If you are asked whether you would like to enter the initial dialog, answer no:
Would you like to enter the initial dialog? [yes]: no
After a few seconds, the user EXEC prompt (Router>) appears.
Step3 Enter privileged EXEC mode by typing enable and, if prompted, enter your password:
Router> enable
Password: password
Router#
Step4 Enter global configuration mode:
Router# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line.
Edit with DELETE, CTRL/W, and CTRL/U; end with CTRL/Z
Step5 To change the configuration register settings, enter the config-register value command, where value is
a hexadecimal number preceded by 0x:
Router(config)# config-register 0xvalue
Step6 Exit global configuration mode:
Router(config)# end
Router#
Step7 Save the configuration changes to NVRAM:
Router# copy running-config startup-config
The new configuration register settings are saved to NVRAM, but they do not take effect until the next
router reload or power cycle.
Displaying the Configuration Register Settings
To display the configuration register settings that are currently in effect and the settings that will be used
at the next router reload, enter the show version command in privileged EXEC mode.
The configuration register settings are displayed in the last line of the show version command output:
Configuration register is 0x142 (will be 0x142 at next reload)
