boot request errors

Hello,

I've inherited a cisco 1721 (IOS 12.2)
router that keeps echoing these messages
to the screen (console or telnet session):

%Error opening
tftp://255.255.255.255/cisconet.cfg
(Timed out)
%Error opening
tftp://255.255.255.255/fgua3-confg
(Timed out)
%Error opening
tftp://255.255.255.255/network-confg
(Timed out)

I've tried:
no tftp-server system

no boot-start-marker
no boot system flash

and
no boot host
no boot network
no boot system

Nothing stops these errors...

Do I need to access the flash/bios
to kill these tftp attempts?


IDEAS complete with syntax are most welcome!

James

Hi James,

To disable this service confuiguration behavior, add the following
command to your configuration:

no service config


Regards,

Patrick

 

Next time you might want to go to google groups and try a search. You'd find
it in a minute and not have to wait for someone to tell you. Not only that
this question is asked all the time and we're sick of seeing it. You have
heard of search engines haven't you?

Thanks Patrick,

That did the trick.

Funny thing is googling around does not
find the answer ( or non of the boolean
search strings I tried), only lots of
folks with the same problem,

and lots of assholes with smart_ass
comments.....

Thanks again for your help!

You're joking here, right? Googling on tftp://255.255.255.255/cisconet.cfg
bring up a page on the cisco web site which tells you how to sort it.

Average human beings

James,

Too bad I only saw this thread now and also twice as bad that you had 2 morons in the same thread.

Never be afraid to ask questions, it's the only way to really learn.
It's a shame that sometimes you get the answers from a bunch of wankers.

How disgraceful some people are to try to belittle you for not finding something that they probably were told about by a friend anyway!
Continue to ask questions. That's what forums are about, HELPING people.

Velocity --- Get rid of these members, there will others out there who can help without making you feel bad for asking!
