Bit Number1

Hexadecimal Value

Meaning/Function

00 to 03

0x0000 to 0x000F

Comprises the boot field for defining the source of a default

 

 

Cisco IOS software image required to run the router

 

 

(see Table 9)

 

 

 

06

0x0040

Causes system software to ignore the contents of NVRAM

 

 

 

07

0x0080

Enables the OEM2 bit

08

0x0100

Disables the Break function

 

 

 

09

0x0200

Uses a secondary bootstrap

 

 

 

10

0x0400

Broadcasts Internet Protocol (IP) with all zeros

 

 

 

11 and 12

0x0800 to 0x1000

Defines the console baud rate (the default setting is 9600 bps)

 

 

 

13

0x2000

Boots the default Flash memory software if the network boot

 

 

fails

 

 

 

14

0x4000

Excludes network numbers from IP broadcasts

 

 

 

15

0x8000

Enables diagnostic messages and ignores the contents of

 

 

NVRAM

 

 

 

1.The factory default value for the software configuration register is 0x0102. This value is a combination of binary bit 8 = 0x0100 and binary bits 00 through 03 = 0x0002.

2.OEM = original equipment manufacturer.

Note Valid software configuration register values may be combinations of settings, rather than the individual settings listed in Table 8. For example, the factory default value 0x0102 for the software configuration register is a composite of several settings.
