Diagnosis

Resetting Router Defaults

To restart the router at any time with no configuration, enter the command:

restart router config=none

If

boot.cfg

has changed, to set it back to the default configuration by saving

the default dynamic configuration to the

boot.cfg

file, enter the command:

create config=boot.cfg

To set the router to restart with the boot configuration file, enter the command:

set config=boot.cfg

DO NOT clear the FLASH memory completely. The software release files are
stored in FLASH, and clearing it would leave no software to run the router.

Checking Connections Using PING

If an aspect of the router’s configuration dependent on access to a server
functions incorrectly, PINGing the server from the router, and the router from
the server, is a useful first step in diagnosis.

You can use PING (Packet Internet Groper) to check whether there is a
connection between the router and another routing interface in the network.
Use the router’s extended PING command over IPv4, IPv6, IPX and AppleTalk
network protocols. PING sends echo request packets in the chosen format, and
displays responses at the terminal. Enter the command:

ping [{[ipaddress=]ipadd|[ipxaddress=]network:station|

[appleaddress=]network.node}] [length=number]

[number={number|continuous}] [pattern=hexnum]

[{sipaddress=ipadd|sipxaddress=network:station|

sappleaddress=network.node}] [screenoutput={yes|no}]

[timeout=number] [tos=number]
