Re: 831 out-of-box config??
said by I_Route  :
If you havd some stuff in the config when you got it then it is possible you got a unit that may have been tested. Did you buy your router new or was it a refab?
A new Unit.
BTW I did a write erase on my own router to try your suggestion and a default config was created which did not allow me internet access or to even ping the router [I had to struggle to set up dchp settings (as I am a newbie at this) and to configure the interface(s) from down to up] - finally I set up the dchp server on the router so I could communicate with it, set the interfaces from down to up and I was able to tftp my saved config back to the router and get things back to normal. The config that comes shipped with the router is different than the default config created from a write erase - the out-of-box config it allows you to basically plug in the connections to the router and go, not have to get interfaces up and configure the dhcp server on the router.
But it was educational for me - I got to configure dchp on the router heh! |
