I would say: your issue sounds to be physical not software related. Probably there's some weird happening on your power circuit when it goes down, otherwise you should have the same issue with the power switch. Since it's hard to say what happens when your power source goes down, it'll be hard for us to tell you the exact cause.
You should try to reproduce the conditions of the power cut, if the power switch doesn't work, try shutting down your fuse, if possible. When you succeed to reproduce the conditions, try moving your router to another location and see if it behave the same way. If it does, then your router might be faulty, if it doesn't, then you might have an issue with your power circuit.

I have an 1841 in my home that I've used for a while. Recently (probably within the past year) I noticed that when it looses power, the next time it powers on it doesn't boot properly and just gets dumped to rommon. This problem may have existed far longer as it used to be on a UPS, but now is just on a surge protector. I know what everyone is going to say, your config registers aren't set properly... Well, yes they are. I've verified the config register being 0x2102 a dozen times now and even reset it a few times to be sure. The odd thing about this is if I simply reboot it again, it starts fine. Even if I power cycle it with the rocker switch it boots up fine. I literally cannot reproduce the problem by powering it off and back on, yet every time there is a power failure, it fails to load IOS and a reboot is the quick fix. This kind of stumped me having used Cisco routers and switches of all types for many many years now. The only thing I could think of is that somehow the lack of power for an extended period is causing it. Could this behavior be caused by the battery on the main board being too low of voltage? I think it was rated for 3.3 volts and measuring slightly over 3 volts but my memory may be foggy on that. Any other thoughts (other than put it on a UPS like it used to be)? :) Thanks for any thoughts... -Vinny _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/ _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
