Problem in saving the config in our Cisco2511 ROuter..-Help

Gud day!

anyone Cisco 2511 Router user had experienced in setting-up a config but can’t save??

Because we’re adding our ethernet-ip address a secondary IP and the problem is we’re always adding this IP because it doesnt save.

it goes like this…

config t
interface ethernet0
ip address 555.555.555.555 secondary

then after that Ctrl-Z then what should be the next? Am i going to type [ copy run start ] directly?

Help please…

I am guessing that you made your IP address 555.555.555.555 for posting purposes because you did not want to let everyone know what it was, but did you remember to enter the subnet mask in your config? The CLI should tell you if you forgot to.

Once you have issued the command correctly you want to make sure you are still in enable mode (Router#): and issue ‘copy running-config startup-config’ or you can abbreviate the commands or use tab to auto complete them. I usually just issue ‘copy run start’ and it works fine. You just have to make sure you are in enable mode to be able to issue this command. Look for the # sign after the name of your router to confirm that you are in that mode.

Yes.

Or you could just type ‘wr’ (short for ‘write memory’).

copy run start from the router# prompt or write mem depending on IOS version.

The other thing you might want to check would be to show ver and to see what your config register value is, it needs to be as follows:

Configuration register is 0x2102
