Line protocol on FastEthernet Interfaces take 21 minutes to come up...

All,

I have a 3620 with 2 NM-FE2W cards (dual fastethernet cards with 2 wic slots each) and I currently have it in a test setup with two (0/0 and

0/1) interfaces going to a switch (dumb dell powerconnect 2016 switch). When I boot the box all the lights light up that should be lit but when I do a "show int" it shows that the line protocol for the two test lines are down but the interfaces are up. After 20 to 21 minutes (consistantly) the line protocols pop up. There seems to be some error messages from previous boards that were in the slots, how do I clean this up?

The equipment was bought used and I have inheritied from the past network admin. I'm a relative newbie on this. By the way other than the longish time for the FastEthernet Interfaces to come up the router seems to work fine.

Here is the console output for the boot:

o up

12.3(13) is a deferred (read junked) IOS release. Releases are junked if they have too may IOS bugs.

You will need to decide if it is worthwhile paying the Cisco relicensing and support fees so that you can gget a more current version of software to see if that will correct your current difficulty.

Might be cheaper just to set it out at the curb...

Merv's is certainly the professional approach however if your time is cheap enough then you may want to consider:-

Post a list of the EXACT hardware that you have. i.e. do you have any WIC cards.

Post

sh run

sh start

sh ver

I will then post commands to remove all traces of un-needed config from the config file.

That as you suspect may get it going.

YOu may want to try:-

keep a copy of the startup config

sh start

let the device boot and

shut down any controllers and interfaces that you are not using. write the config back to the startup config

copy run start

reload

controllers are associaed with serial and atm interfaces, never with ethernet interfaces.

conf t cont se x/y shut

Also take any hardware that you do not need out of the router if the problems persist.
