Router is a most important device, used to connect different networks together and route packets of data from one network to another. So it s really important to manage a router. If you are locked out of a router because you forgot the password, this paper will be helpful to re-inter the router. This paper also shows the main components of a router, the router boot sequence and the configuration register, including how to use the configuration register for password recovery. After reading this paper, a new user will understand how to bring up a router and how to crack its password, after that save the running configuration as a backup for future use. Keywords: Router, Configuration register, IOS, RAM, ROM, NVRAM and CLI commands. I. INTRODUCTION A router boots similar to a regular computer as it first performs a power on self test (POST) for the hardware, next loads bootstrap code from ROM, loads the IOS image from Flash into RAM and finally the router locates and loads a configuration file. You can reboot a router by using the power switch or the reload command. The Internetwork Operating System (IOS) and configuration files reside in different locations in a router. So it is very important to understand both where these files are located and how they work. The router configuration is stored in NVRAM. This is the place where the router will search for a configuration file. Alternatively, you can configure the router to load a configuration file from a TFTP server. If the router cannot locate a configuration file (on a new router for example) it will start in setup mode and it will ask if you want to enter the initial configuration dialog. If you answer with No, you'll be taken to the command prompt and you'll be able to configure the router manually. If you answer with Yes, you'll be taken through a list of questions allowing you to configure the router e.g. set a hostname and enable password and secret, configure routed and routing protocols, and assign addresses to interfaces. You can initiate this configuration dialog at any time by using the setup command. II. THE ROUTER BOOT SEQUENCE When a router boots up, it performs a series of steps, called the boot sequence, which test the hardware and load the necessary software. The boot sequence consists of the following steps: a)the router performs a POST. The POST tests the hardware to verify that all the components of the device are operational and present. For example, the POST checks for the different interfaces on the router. The POST is stored in and run from ROM. b) The bootstrap then looks for and loads the IOS software. The bootstrap is a program in ROM that is used to execute programs. The bootstrap program is responsible for finding where each IOS program is located and then loading the file. By default, the IOS software is loaded from flash memory in all routers. The default order of an IOS loading in a router is Flash, TFTP server, then ROM. c)the IOS software looks for a valid configuration file stored in NVRAM. This file is called startupconfiguration. An administrator copies the running-configuration file into NVRAM as a startup-configuration. 202
2 Volume Issue pp March 202 www. ijsret.org ISSN d) If a startup-configuration file found in NVRAM, the router will copy this file and place it in RAM and call the file running-configuration. Then the router will use this file to run the router. III. CONFIGURATION REGISTER All Cisco routers have a 6-bit (2 bytes) configuration register that s written into NVRAM. By default, the configuration register is set to load the Cisco IOS from flash memory and load the startup- configuration file from NVRAM. The6-bit (2 bytes) of the configuration register is read from 5 to 0, from left to right. The default configuration setting on Cisco routers is This means that bits 3, 8 and are on, as shown in Table. Notice that each set of 4 bits is read in binary with a value of 8, 4, 2,. Table : The Configuration Register Bit Number Configur ation Register Bit number Binary Note: The prefix 0 to the configuration register address means that the digits that follow are in hexadecimal. Table 2 lists the configuration register bit meanings. Notice that bit 6 can be used to ignore the NVRAM contents, so this bit is used for password recovery. Table 2: configuration register bit meanings Bit Hex Description Boot field (see table 3) 0 000F Ignore NVRAM contents OEM bit enabled break disabled IP broadcast with all zeros 5, Console line speed Boot default ROM software if network boot fails IP broadcasts do not have net numbers Enable diagnostic message and ignore NVRAM contents The boot field, which consists of bits 0-3 in the configuration register, controls the router boot sequence. Table 3 describes the boot field bits. Table 3: The Boot Field Boot Use Field 00 To boot in ROM monitor mode, set the Configuration register to To boot an IOS image stored in ROM, set the Configuration register to F Any value from 202 through 20F tells the router to use the boot commands specified in NVRAM IV. CHECKING THE CURRENT CONFIGURATION REGISTER VALUE To see the current value of the configuration use the show version command: register, show version IPBASE-M), Version 2.3(4)T7, RELEASE ROM: System Bootstrap, Version 2.(3r)T2, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc) System returned to ROM by power-on System image file is "flash:c2800nm-ipbasemz.23-4.t7.bin" cisco 28 (MPC860) processor (revision 0x200) with 6046K/520K bytes of memory Processor board ID JAD0590MTZ ( ) M860 processor: part number 0, mask 49 Ethernet/IEEE interface(s) 3 FastEthernet/IEEE interface(s) 7 Low-speed serial(sync/async) network interface(s) 239K bytes of NVRAM. 202
3 Volume Issue pp March 202 www. ijsret.org ISSN K bytes of processor board System flash (Read/Write) Configuration register is 0x202 The last line of this command gives the value of the configuration register. In the example, the value is the default setting. Notice that the show version command also provides the details of IOS version, ROM, RAM, NVRAM, Flash memory and all interfaces in the preceding example. V. CHANGING THE CONFIGURATION REGISTER You can change the configuration register value to modify how the router boots and runs. There are the main reasons you would want to change the configuration register: To force the system into the ROM monitor mode To select a boot source and default boot filename To enable or disable the Break function To control broadcast addresses To set the console terminal baud rate To load operating software from ROM To enable booting from a Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server Before changing the configuration register, make sure you know the current configuration register value. Use the show version command to get this information. You can change the configuration register by using the config-register command: Router(config)#config-register 0 20 Router(config)#^z show version [Output cut] Configuration register is (will be 0 20 at next reload) Notice that the show version command displays the current configuration register value and also that value which will be when the router reboots. Any change to the configuration register won t take effect until the router is reloaded. The 0 20 will load the IOS from ROM the next time the router is rebooted. Here is our router after setting the configuration register to 0 20 and reloading: show version 2800 Software (C2800NM-IPBASE-M), Version 2.3(4)T7, RELEASE Cisco IOS Software, ROM: System Bootstrap, Version 2.(3r)T2, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc) System returned to ROM by power-on System image file is "flash:c2800nm-ipbasemz.23-4.t7.bin" Configuration register is 0x20 A router has full IOS in flash. To set the configuration register back to the default, just type this: config t Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. Router(config)#config-register 0x202 Router(config)#^Z %SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by console reload Proceed with reload? [confirm]y show version Configuration register is 0x202 VI. RECOVERING PASSWORDS If you forgot the router password, you can change the configuration register to login the router. As I said earlier, bit 6 in the configuration register is used to tell the router whether to use the contents of NVRAM to load a router configuration (startupconfig). The default configuration register value is 0x202; meaning that bit 6 is off. With the default setting, the 202
4 Volume Issue pp March 202 www. ijsret.org ISSN router will look for and load a router configuration stored in NVRAM (startup-config). To recover a password, you need to turn on the bit 6. Doing this will tell the router to ignore the NVRAM contents. The configuration register value after turn on bit 6 is 0x242. Here are the main steps to password recovery:. Boot the router and interrupt the boot sequence by performing a break, which will take the router into ROM monitor mode. 2. Change the configuration register to turn on bit 6 (with the value 0x242). 3. Reload the router. 4. Enter privileged mode. 5. Copy the startup-configuration file to runningconfiguration. 6. Change the password. 7. Reset the configuration register to the default value. 8. Save the router configuration. 9. Reload the router (optional). Interrupting the Router Boot Sequence: Your first step is to boot the router and perform a break. This is usually done by pressing the Ctrl+Break key combination when using HyperTerminal while the router first reboot. reload Proceed with reload?

At this point, you will be at the rommon > prompt, which is called ROM monitor mode. Changing the Configuration Register: You can change the configuration register by using the config-register command. To turn on bit 6, use the configuration register value 0x242. Remember that if you change the configuration register to 0x242, the startup-configuration will be bypassed and the router will load into setup mode. To change the bit value on a Cisco ISR/2800 series router, you just enter the command: rommon > confreg 0x242 You must reset or power cycle for new configuration to take effect rommon 2 > reset System Bootstrap, Version 2.(3r)T2, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc) cisco 28 (MPC860) processor (revision 0x200) with 6046K/520K bytes of memory Self decompressing the image : ########################################### ############################### [OK] Restricted Rights Legend Use, duplication, or disclosure by the Government is subject to restrictions as set forth in subparagraph (c) of the Commercial Computer Software - Restricted Rights clause at FAR sec and subparagraph (c) () (ii) of the Rights in Technical Data and Computer Software clause at DFARS sec cisco Systems, Inc. 70 West Tasman Drive San Jose, California IPBASE-M), Version 2.3(4)T7, RELEASE Copyright (c) by Cisco Systems, Inc.
