18 Release Notes for Cisco IOS Release 11.2(11) Software Feature Packs for Cisco 2500 Series Routers

Installing the Router Software Using a TFTP Server Application

Restoring the Startup Conﬁguration

In some cases, the RSL is unable to restore the startup conﬁguration. If this happens, take the

following steps:

Step 1 Ensure that all cables are properly attached to both the router and the PC.

Step 2 Restart the RSL, and connect by using the Preconﬁgured router option.

Step 3 When asked if you want to overwrite the existing startup conﬁguration ﬁle, choose no.

Step 4 When asked if you want to continue, choose yes.

Step 5 When the router is connected, select Download Router Conﬁguration in the

Router Software Loader dialog box.

Step 6 Select the appropriate ﬁle, and click the radio button beside Copy conﬁguration to the

router nonvolatile memory.

The router should now contain the startup conﬁguration it had before the initial RSL connection. You

can now exit the RSL.

Note In the previous situation, the router conﬁguration register is not restored.

Note If you enter Ctrl-Alt-Delete to terminate the RSL, the router conﬁguration and conﬁguration

you can restore it using the previous steps.

Helpful Hints

The following information about RSL operations can help you with the installation process:

• If you have added any static entries to the PC Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) table, one of

them might be deleted by the RSL. You need to manually re-enter this entry into the PC ARP

table.

• If the router running conﬁguration at connection time is not the same as its startup conﬁguration,

the exact conﬁguration is not restored. Any changes that you have made since the last time a copy

running-conﬁg startup-conﬁg or write memory command was entered are lost.

• The RSL restores the router startup conﬁguration, but some running conﬁguration commands are

not restored. To restore the exact running conﬁguration, reboot the router. The following interface

conﬁguration commands are not restored to the running conﬁguration: no shutdown, no

ringspeed, and media-type aui.

Installing the Router Software Using a TFTP Server Application

Use this TFTP server application method as an alternative to using the RSL to install the router

software from the CD-ROM. You can perform this procedure using a PC (running Microsoft

Windows 95 or Microsoft Windows 3.1), a Macintosh, or a UNIX system. You can use either the

copy tftp ﬂash or copy rcp ﬂash command to download the router software to the router.
