The 4500 in my lab is now generating the following error from a cold boot: System Bootstrap, Version 5.3(16) [richardd 16], RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1) Copyright (c) 1996 by cisco Systems, Inc. Warning: monitor nvram area is corrupt ... using default values It proceeds to boot 0x101 (boot-rom) in which I can paste a config, save, change to 0x2102, and then copy tftp the config up, but sometimes I'll still get this: System Bootstrap, Version 5.3(16) [richardd 16], RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1) Copyright (c) 1996 by cisco Systems, Inc. C4500 processor with 16384 Kbytes of main memory program load complete, entry point: 0x80008000, size: 0x34cec0 Notice: NVRAM invalid, possibly due to write erase. Next time I power down my lab gear (or issue a reboot throw the APC, which does a cold boot), it'll do the same thing. As a temporary work-around, I've got a file named network-confg on my tftp file that the 4500 is able to boot with, but this is rather annoying. I've never heard of a battery in a router, but could this be a possibility? Or could the NVRAM really be corrupted somehow? If I do a reload, it'll remain, but not through power loss.
