30 Cisco 1003 and Cisco 1004 User Guide
Configuring Your Cisco 1003 or Cisco 1004 Router
The system will boot from a configuration file only if:
— The configuration file is named router-confg (for UNIX systems) or ciscortr.cfg (for
DOS systems). Use the show flash command to check the configuration filename.
Note
The router searches for the filename router-confg or ciscortr.cfg. Do not preface the
filename with the path name (for example, /tftpboot/router-confg).
— The configuration register has been set properly. Use the show version command
to verify that the last digit in the configuration register is set to “2.” For example,
the factory-default value is 0x2102. Notice that the last digit (number) is “2.” If the
configuration register is not set correctly, refer to the Router Products
Configuration Guide for information about setting the configuration register.

If an optional Flash memory card is not installed, or the configuration file is not stored
on a Flash memory card, the router will check the LAN for a TFTP server with an
applicable configuration file. If an applicable configuration file is found, the router will
load the configuration from that server. After the configuration file has been used to
configure the router, enter the copy running-config startup-config command in
enabled mode to save the configuration in NVRAM. The next time your router is
connected to power, it will load the configuration from NVRAM in the router.

If a configuration file is not found at the three previously described sources, you must
manually configure the router using the setup program. For instructions on using the
setup program, proceed with the next section, “Using the Setup Program.”
