Perhaps the "Allow Break Sequence" bit was disabled from a previous change in the confreg setting!?!?
If this was the case, you had to pop the top of your "Frame Switch" router and do temp. jumper change that resets the config register settings back to factory defaults. I'll be interested to know what the answer was :) Have a great weekend to all!

I haven't had the routers on in quite a few weeks. Been busy at work. Had some big projects to keep me out of my own lab for a while. So I have a customer network that I need to clean up a few things on. I set up a model in my own lab, cable everything up to emulate the customer's situation, and begin. First step - configure the frame relay switch. try to get into enable mode. Keep getting asked for a password. Rats! What is the enable password? I try the usual suspects, and come up empty. no problem. I'll just do a quick password recovery. I do a search on CCO, quickly locate the procedure, and begin... power off. power on. control break. no luck - the router just boots as normal. hhmmmmm........ I've done recoveries before. no biggie. why am I having the problem? Now I know the smart guys among you will tell me it's because I use hyper terminal. so I close HT, and load up my copy of Tera Term. repeat the power off power on sequence, try alt b, and no luck. the router loads as usual. now I'm panicking. I have been trying this via my term server. I go directly into the router, replacing the term server cable with a direct connection. still no luck. alt b with Tera term, control break with hyper term. the router still loads as normal. Well, I've figured out the problem. I've gotten into the router. I'm happily working on my customer simulation. the frame switch is configured as I wish. the question to all of you - what was the problem? what was the solution? regards Chuck December 2 - 183 days and counting the gods of the Lab permitting.... ;-> Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=45597&t=45592 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
