Hi ...
I have a Cisco 1601 Router which connects our Campus to the Internet via a E1 digital Leased line.
This Router takes is powered using an APC Smart UPS system
Unfortunatelly I cannot monitor the UPS in order to perform a proper shutdown for the router . The result is that the router suddenly goes OFF whenever the UPS shuts it self down.
Whenever the power is restored , the router boots up with the rommon prompt causing us to lose connectivity with the Internet where someone must be there in order to shut down the router ( using its power swith) and then when it boots again , this time it shows the real boot sequence with Internet connectivity restored.
I really do not know why is this happening and how to solve this repetitive problem .
Lots of thanks

make sure your config register is set to 0x2102 you can check this by doing a sh ver
bottom line will show you
Configuration register is 0x2102
you can change it by
router#(conf)config-register 0x2102

Do you have any spare flash you can swap out to see if maybe something is wrong with the flash due to the power failure?

Hi ...
I am afraid that this is the only router of its kind in our site so there is no spare flash card to try out.
In any case , we are moving to a new campus within the next few months so I am going to order a new router to be used there .
Frankly speaking , I will choose a Cisco model but which one would fit best is a big question for me.
I need a router which could support at least 4 DMZs , 2 GB interfaces , 4 10/100 Interfaces and could go upto a 12 Mbps Internet speed .
Would you help me make my choice here please ?
Thanks
