Re: I need big time help (cisco soho91 router)
I am a Cisco newbie but recently got a Cisco 831 router and I have a similar story and here is how I solved it.
I had a similar problem of my router going down as I was fooling with the running-config file on my Cisco 831 router. I changed the running-config file in a text editor, did a copy tftp startup-config and then a reload, only to get a rommon prompt. With help of a Cisco Tech (I have a Smartnet Contract) I restored the IOS to flash through X-modem. Then the Cisco techie and I noticed I was unable to connect to the Internet as you are. I saw on a show running-config that my previous running-config was now replaced by a running-config that was very different than my original running-config (seemed to be a generic stripped down version) and I also saw "interface down" stuff - which we attempted to correct but the new config file was just too different from my original one. I fortunately had a copy of my original running-config and did a copy tftp running-config and I restored my original running-config and I was up again.
Obviously if you don't have a copy of your original running-config lying around, my method won't help much. |
