About the Configuration Register
The router has a 16-bit configuration register in NVRAM. Each bit has value 1 (on or set) or value 0 (off
or clear), and each bit setting affects the router behavior upon the next reload power cycle.
You can use the configuration register to
• Force the router to boot into the ROM monitor (bootstrap program)
• Select a boot source and default boot filename
• Enable or disable the Break function
• Control broadcast addresses
• Recover a lost password
• Change the console line speed
Table D-1 describes the configuration register bits.
