The router will attempt to run AutoInstall whenever you start it if the serial [WAN] connection is connected on both ends and the router does not have a configuration stored in NVRAM

do these interfaces have a config ?

If they do not , admin down and wr mem.

The routers are being used in a test lab.

I need to be able to erase the NVRAM and allow the routers to boot into setup mode. It is a pain in the neck having to mess around with SLARP autoinstall.

I would like to be able to reboot the routers and not have to deal with slarp.

I am looking for some kind of command/service command to disable this process?

Do all 25xx series routers perform this procedure?

Thanks in advance

Boot them up with no serial cables attached

Thanks

I know how to prevent it from happening, but I would like to disable it from happening!

These routers are in a testing environment, I would like users to change configs not cables!
