Anybody, I am fairly new to this so bear with me. I couldn't find a solution from the archives. I have a 2501 router that has worked well for me. However, I have been having problems with it lately. When I start the router, I can't ping across subnets. I telnet into router_b through the console and see this: What? > If I enter a command it reverts back to: What? > However the enable command gives me something like this: 4: 4AFC4AFC If I reboot the I get the bootstrap routine. Everything seems OK and I can ping fine. But when I first power up (I shut down everything overnight), I get the WHAT? then just a ">". What's causing this.
