Implementing Additional Configuration and Maintenance Tasks

(Additional displayed text omitted from this example.)

Configuring interface Ethernet0:

Is this interface in use?: yes

Configure IP on this interface?: yes

IP address for this interface: 3.3.1.1

Number of bits in subnet field: 8

Class A network is 3.0.0.0, 8 subnet bits; mask is 255.255.0.0

Configure CLNS on this interface?: yes

Implementing Additional Configuration and Maintenance Tasks

This section contains information on the following additional configuration, troubleshooting, and maintenance tasks:

Upgrading GRP Memory

Configuring the Software Configuration Register

The system uses a 16-bit software configuration register, which allows you to set specific system parameters. Settings for the software configuration register are written into non-volatile random access memory (NVRAM).

Following are some reasons for changing the software configuration register settings:

To select a boot source and default boot filename

To enable or disable the Break function

To control broadcast addresses

To set the console terminal baud rate

To load operating software from Flash memory

To enable booting from a Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server

To recover a lost password

To allow you to manually boot the system using the b command at the bootstrap program prompt

To force an automatic boot from the system bootstrap software (boot image) or from a default system image in onboard Flash memory, and to read any boot system commands that are stored in the configuration file in NVRAM

Table 9 provides descriptions of each of the software configuration memory bits, and Table 10 defines the boot field, specified as a binary number that consists of bits 0 through 3 of the software configuration register.

Caution To avoid confusion and possibly halting the Cisco 12000 Series Router, remember that valid configuration register settings might be combinations of settings and not just the individual settings listed in Table 9. For example, the factory default value of 0x2102 is a combination of settings.
