Need to default 2811 router

Hi all,
Please bear with me. I noticed several topics along the lines of password recovery for a 2811 router and do not mean to ask a redundant question. I've followed the .pdf instructions and the router will reboot as normal every time. I manage to get to the rommon 1> and when I initially entered the confreg command as outlined in the password recovery steps it would not recognize the confreg command. I ended up typing a ? and all the avaialble commands listed... after the commands listed, the CLI would allow me to type confreg 0x2142 which resulted in a message "need to reload or power cycle" (or something to that effect). After typing the reset, the 2811 reloads, but reboots to normal condition. I tried the confreg 0x102 method and got the same result. After several attempts, it seems like the procedure is not working. So how can I simply default the router and start from scratch if the recovery procedure fails?
Thank you!

Hello
Can you try the below:-
thanks
please rate all useful information
Shut down the router.
Remove the compact flash that is at the back of the router.
Power on the router.
Once the Rommon1> prompt appears, enter this command:
confreg 0x2142
Insert the compact flash.
Type reset. /you forget to type reset/
When you are prompted to enter the initial configuration, type No, and press Enter.
At the Router> prompt, type enable.
At the Router# prompt, enter the configure memory command, and press Enter in order to copy the startup configuration to the running configuration.
Use the config t command in order to enter global configuration mode.
Use this command in order to create a new user name and password:
router(config)#username cisco privilege 15 password cisco
Use this command in order to change the boot statement:
config-register 0x2102
Use this command in order to save the configuration:
write memory
Reload the router, and then use the new user name and password to log in to the router.

Cisco 2811 Router with 3 ADSL card and load balancing

Dear All,
I have few queries:
1. Does Cisco 2811 Router support 3 ADSL card?
2. We are the ISP. I want to do load balancing with 3 dsl
line on Cisco 2811 Router.
Please send me the linke for this configuration.
Thanks/Regards
Atul

hi
In 2811 you have 4 HWIC and 1 NME you can install 1-port ADSL WAN Interface Cardon the HWIC slots.
Also just enable 3 default (equal cost) routes towards the interfaces which will take care of the load balancing.
if you need more info and inputs do post out with ur requirements along with network topology in place at present..

Attempting to migrate service from T1 to Opt-E-Man service with 2811 router

First - While my cisco experience is limited I'm attempting to learn. I becamse the default Cisco guy at our shop and while I do ok with the switches routers give me an issue. Any help for a newbie that's trying is greatly appreciated!!
We recently upgraded one of our remote facilities from their T1 line to bring them into our already existent ATT Opt-e-man service. I'm trying to get some assistance configuring the 2811 router at the remote location to flow the traffic across the opteman. I attempted to compare the port settings from one of our remote locations that's arleady on opteman to the port I"m trying to configure on the 2811, but since I'm comparing a 2960 switch to the 2811 there are some glaring differences and difficulties. Here's what I got, what I think I need to do, and where I"m failing will be conspicuously obvious
Remote site 1 - 2811. Trying to configure for opteman service
Remote site 2 - 2960. Already configured for Opteman, and using as a point of reference for configuration
(IP Address changed to protect the innocent)
Remote site 1 fa0/1 port config (for opteman):
interface FastEthernet0/1
ip address 10.10.10.106 255.255.255.252
ip pim sparse-dense-mode
duplex full
speed 10
end
Remote site 1 s0/3/0 config (for current t1)
description T1 to MAIN
ip address 10.10.10. 255.255.255.252
ip pim sparse-dense-mode
encapsulation ppp
service-module t1 timeslots 1-24
service-policy output WAN
end
Remote site 1 desired configuration:
description UPLINK TO MAIN
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport trunk native vlan 999
switchport trunk allowed vlan 76
switchport mode trunk
switchport nonegotiate
srr-queue bandwidth share 10 10 60 20
srr-queue bandwidth shape 10 0 0 0
priority-queue out
mls qos trust cos
auto qos voip trust
spanning-tree guard root
Remote site 2 configuraiton is the same as remote site 1 desired configuration except the allowed vlan is 84 instead of 76:
interface FastEthernet0/1
description UPLINK TO MAIN
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport trunk native vlan 999
switchport trunk allowed vlan 84
switchport mode trunk
switchport nonegotiate
srr-queue bandwidth share 10 10 60 20
srr-queue bandwidth shape 10 0 0 0
priority-queue out
mls qos trust cos
auto qos voip trust
spanning-tree guard root
Unfortunately I"m missing the switchport command because I"m working on the router. I can't even get the encapsulation to work on the port. Is what I"m attempting to do even possible or do I just need to quit and call in a Cisco engineer for configuration assistance? I'd rather not and get the pride from learning the right way to do it.
Thanks again in advance!
THanks
Dustin
P.S. My first post to cisco forums. Apologies if I'm in the wrong thread.

Hello Dustin,
from the show output that you have provided I understand that both remote sites use the RIP protocol as dynamic routing protocol.
If so all you need to check is that the IP subnet of new service is covered by network command under router rip process.
a)
Example:
if the router configuration for RiP is
router rip
version 2
network 10.0.0.0
and the IP subnet of new service is within 10/8 block the router configuration is fine and it will send and receive RIP updates on the new link.
you can check with
show run | begin router rip
b)
>> ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.10.255.105 222
This is a floating static route to be changed in
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.10.10.105 222
This route is used only when RIP is not working. The primary default route should be a RIP route you can check with
show ip route 0.0.0.0
c)
>> service-module ip default-gateway 10.10.250.254
>>ip route 10.10.250.250 255.255.255.255 Service-Engine0/0
no change is needed for these two lines as they refer to a service module present in the router.
Hope to help
Giuseppe

Reset WLC Module to factory defaults from router cli

I have a wireless lan controller module in a 2811 router that has a previous config and need to reset it to factory defaults from the router cli. Every time I try a "service-module wlan-controller 1/0 reset" I don't see any output on the screen indicating the boot process that would allow me to interrupt it and reset a password.
I tried following this doc but had no luck:
https://supportforums.cisco.com/docs/DOC-3668
Anyone have any experience with this?

Hi Joe,
Not sure, but this doc does list a couple of different steps

Need help accessing the router web page. I have been told my router is acting like a switch and the IP address is not in the proper range. I have tried reseting the router (hold for 30 sec and unplug for 5 mins). Didn't work.
thanks

What router are you using? Almost all Linksys routers use 192.168.1.1 as the default local IP address, but there is at least one that uses 192.168.16.1 , namely the WTR54GS (not the WRT54GS).
You need to try again to reset the router to factory defaults.
To reset your router to factory defaults, use the following procedure:
1) Power down all computers, the router, and the modem, and unplug them from the wall.
2) Disconnect all wires from the router.
3) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
4) Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds, then release it, then let the router reset and reboot (2-3 minutes).
5) Power down the router.
6) Connect one computer by wire to port 1 on the router (NOT to the internet port).
7) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
8) Power up the computer (if the computer has a wireless card, make sure it is off).
9) Try to ping the router. To do this, click the "Start" button > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt. A black DOS box will appear. Enter the following: "ping 192.168.1.1" (no quotes), and hit the Enter key. You will see 3 or 4 lines that start either with "Reply from ... " or "Request timed out." If you see "Reply from ...", your computer has found your router.
10) Open your browser and point it to 192.168.1.1. This will take you to your router's login page. Leave the user name blank (note: a few Linksys routers have a default user name of "admin" (with no quotes)), and in the password field, enter "admin" (with no quotes). This will take you to your router setup page. Note the version number of your firmware (usually listed near upper right corner of screen). Exit your browser.
If you get this far without problems, try the setup disk (or setup the router manually, if you prefer), and see if you can get your router setup and working.
If you cannot get "Reply from ..." in step 9 above, your router is dead.
If you get a reply in step 9, but cannot complete step 10, then either your router is dead or the firmware is corrupt. In this case, use the Linksys tftp.exe program to try to reload your router with the latest firmware. After reloading the firmware, repeat the above procedure starting with step 1.
If you need additional help, please state your ISP, the make and model of your modem, your router's firmware version, and the results of steps 9 and 10. Also, if you get any error messages, copy them exactly and report back.
Please let me know how things turn out for you.

High CPU usage on 2811 router

dear support
i have a problem recently, i have a 2811 router, there are several EIGRP VPN tunnel setup on it, recently i found this router running high CPU utilization, it almost reach 80 percent at the most day busy time, when i try to find what process causing that after " show proc cpu", the summarize number not such high, it estimate not more than 20 percent. i know in old Cisco IOS there is a command "show platform health", but seem this not exist in 2800 serials any more.
so my question is what can i do next step to finding out what is causing high CPU usage, so that i can decide if the router need to be upgraded.
thanks very much

Linksys people told me I need the default gateway

My roomates computer has a linksys internet card, and I have a apple airport router. His computer says that it is connected but the internet doesnt work. When I called the Linksys people they said that I need the default gateway number to type in the computer. Can you please help me with this.

The default gateway IP address (number) for the AirPort is: 10.0.1.1

Need to default file association to Indesign CS2

Hello,
I am using a PC/XP sp2, and i have both adobe cs1, cs2, and cs3 installed sequentially. I need to default all .indd files to open with Indesign CS2 instead of cs3 from the window explorer. However, that's not happening at all. I have tried to google the solution, and also a few available methods online, but none of them is working.
> open file as (not working - not even recognizing the cs2 at all)
> file association preference inside bridge cs2/cs3 (nothing happend)
> file properties (file association refuse to work)
The only ways that I can get a .indd file to open is to (1) open the document from within cs2, or (2) open the file from bridge. Sure, it works, but it's a pain. Please let me know if yall have any idea how to resolve this? or is this the kind of issue i need to live with?
Thanks.

> However, you can try to force Windows to open with another program > by right-clicking any ID document (though it better be a CS2 one), > then select "Choose program". Browse to the CS2 location and check > the "Always open with" box. That oughta work.
Yeah, I have attempted that too. And we're practically talking about the same thing. The 'open file as' is a window command when right-click on the file (in this case, the .indd). I have tried that route already, but window doesn't recognize the executable and the "Always open with" checkbox is also gray out. I have already reset the default software for psd and ai to cs2, and only the indd is not responsive at all.
And the even weirder thing is that this only happens on some computer. for instance, i have run the same installation procedure on another pc/xp sp2 computer, and everything works fine. Both computers have the same os, same hardware, and same adobe cs3 software (w/ different serial key)
> registry hack
hmm... that's an idea. Do yall know anything about it? Please do keep me (and anybody plagued with this issue) posted.
thanks.

Using WIC-1B-U on a 2811 Router

I have an an older WIC-1B-U currently in a 2621. Can I use that WIC-1B-U in a new 2811 router or do I have to buy a new WIC-1-B-V2?
Thanks,
Mark

Hi Mark
Unfortunately the WIC-1B-U is not compatible with the 2811 router. So you will need to get a WIC-1B-U-V2.

IPS messages on a 2811 router

We have implemented IPS to monitor on a 2811 router...once this was applied to all the interfaces the router cpu went up to 99% and the customer started having issues...
I have attached a print screen from what the IPS was seeing...can anyone shed some light on what I can do to resolve these...
Thanks,
Joe

I don't know about your screenshots, but...
We recently implemented the 5.x signature style to a 2821 router and drove cpu utilization to 100%. It turned out that by default all of the available signatures were enabled, and the router can't handle that. We ended up retiring all signatures and then returning signature groups of interest to service incrementally until our CPU utilization stabilized at about 20%.
Here's the document that eventually drove us:

pay special attention to step 4.4.
Good luck!

TLS mutual authentication and Separate default SMTP routes per listener - IronPort c370

Dear all ,
We have two IronPort C370 ESAs , formed in a cluster.
We are in a need to route e-mails targeted to a special group using TLS Required/Verify.
I have two questions :
1. Is TLS mutual authentication possible on both incoming and outgoing ?
2. Due to the nature of the TLS need the existing listener cannot be used. So I created a new listener and respective filters to decide when the recipient requirements are met. The new listener is going to be configured with a policy specifying TLS required/verify. Problem is that there is always a default SMTP route pointing specifically to a cloud service rather than directly to the Internet while for the new listener usedns is required. Is it possible to have two different default SMTP routes assigned to different listeners ?
Thanks and kind regards ,
Gino.
PS : Please bear with me and questions. I am making my first steps in Iron Port administration.

I have made some sort of progress but I would also like to have your expert opinions.
I have came to understand that in order to present TLS mutual authentication for the incoming traffic I will just have to trust the sender(s) CA ( containing SANs etc for both the SMTP domain and the ESA itself ) while if I spread own SANs to the counterparts I will also have TLS mutual authentication on the outgoing traffic as well. Issue is that I will have to declare it in destination controls and it cannot be generic.
Is there any way to make TLS required/verify with mutual authentication the default without having to set destination contol(s) ?
As for my second question I have came to understand that the additional listener is not an aditional MTA and concequently I cannot have separate default SMTP route ( default = what is called as "ALL" in IronPort ). Still if anyone knows something more it would be really helpful if it was shared.

Getting 2811 router latest firmware

I need to get the latest firmware for a 2811 router but I am unable to download it. Can someone advise the best way to get hold of this can I just contact a local Cisco reseller n Monday or is it more complicated than that?

As of today, no new maintenance contracts can be bought for ISR G1 routers.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/routers/ps5854/eol_c51-631228.html
In any case the best approach for anything related to Cisco, is to always work with a reputable consultant, or certified Cisco partner.

Air play in Apple Tv disconnects with no reason, and I need to restart the router to connect again. Meanwhile apple tv is connected to wi if. Can somebody help?

Air Play in my Apple TV disconnects from iPhone or Mac book after some time of playing. I need to restart the router in order to connect again. Apple tv is connected to wifi succesfully? Any suggestion?

I tried something new yesterday after reading all these messages. My ATV3 was situated on top of my satellite box and I noticed that it was quite warm. The instruction manual suggests that the box not go over a certain temperature, so I moved the box to a location without the heat under it. It now works without any problem at all...at least, so far.

Connecting to home internet via airport - always need to restart the router

I set my home PC as the main station to connect to my ISP. With a wireless router (linksys Wireless-B), I used to share the internet connection to other wireless devices, for instanace, my palm and ibook, my sister's notebook PC and Pocket PC. once, I took my ibook to an internet cafe, which gives free wireless connection facilities. My ibook obviously scanned the wireless network, and was connected (as I noted from the Summary of the "internet Connection". but, when I activate Safar, it said that it could bring me to any website because my computer is not connected to internet. it's very strange, as the Internet Connection said it's connected to the wireless network. The Safari page suggests me to run "network diagnosis". i follow the instruction, and it says I should restart the router and then it would work. I didn't succeed. A while later, it connected. I thought it was okay.
Then, this problem comes up even when I am using my home's internet connection via the airport. I use DHCP to connect to my home internet connection. though the airport summary page said that it's connected to my router (the IP address is my router's address), again, Safari said my computer is not connected to internet, so it didn't work. I followed the instruction of the Network Diagnosis, it again asked me to restart my router device. I also noted from the Airport Section of the Network Perference that, it says the airport has a self-designated IP addres, so it may not connect to the itnernet. later on, I retarted the router and the modem (without turn on my home PC), the ibook connected to the internet.
i checked the router setting of my home PC. I'm sure that it's open to all wireless user. Strange through, after I update the settings (even though i didn't make any changes, perhaps the action of 'save settings', it's kind of equivalent to the action of restarting it), my ibook's connection works. When my retarted my PC and ibook, the connection problem comes up again.
it's very frustrating. Does it mean that I need to restart my router everytime? What about if I want to connect to wireless hotspot outside?
Please please help

Your problem description is complicated, making it hard to figure out what exactly is wrong. Unfortunately, WiFi does this quite often.
To avoid this kind of problem, you should set up different Locations in your Network Preferences for different places that you connect up. That is, make one location for your Internet cafe and another for home. Leave the Automatic location alone.
For locations you know you are going to connect by WiFi, go to Network Port Configurations and drag Airport to the top of the list to give it priority.
If you have a location, where you want an ethernet connection or want to use your internal modem only, then drag those options to the top. Get the idea?
MacOS seems to get confused sometimes when you switch back and forth between different connections all the time. This will not happen if you tell MacOS where you are by explicitly setting a location.
To get out of a situation where MacOS thinks you are connected to non-existent ethernet connection, go into
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
and delete the NetworkInterfaces.plist file.
