I recently bought a cisco 2501 router from ebay for educational purposes. It came with preconfigured passwords which I didn't have so I used the instructions at the following link:
As well the prompt I have is different from the example. It shows: router(boot)>
instead of router>
the same applies for enable mode: router(boot)# instead of router#
and now every time I power the router it gives me the setup program (twice through)
***also****: whenever I type configure terminal I end up with:Enter configuration commands, one per line. Edit with DELETE, CTRL/W, and CTRL/U; end with CTRL/Z
-instead of a new command line with (config) in front of it.
Very confused here, all help is appreciated.
