I just upgraded my 2650xm IOS with the tftp method and everything worked great but for some reason it keeps trying to connect to the tftp server and get config files?

it looks like this when i start it up:

Cisco 2650XM (MPC860P) processor (revision 2.0) with 253952K/8192K bytes of memory.
Processor board ID JAE080411WW
M860 processor: part number 5, mask 2
1 FastEthernet interface
1 Serial interface
32K bytes of NVRAM.
49152K bytes of processor board System flash (Read/Write)

Slot is empty or does not support clock participate
WIC slot is empty or does not support clock participate

%Error opening tftp://255.255.255.255/router-confg (Timed out)
%Error opening tftp://255.255.255.255/router.cfg (Timed out)


Press RETURN to get started!

Also once it is up and running it keeps trying to get these files, it looks like this:

Is this normal? what is causing this?

Two things off the top of my head: I'd check that the register is set to 0x2102 (not 0x010F - which will boot from TFTP). Also that the start-up config has no "boot system tftp" entry.

register is 0x2102 and no entry for the boot system tftp?

You need to turn something off in the configuration. The answer is given if you google for that error :P

You could try running the following from global config:

no service config
no boot network

Note: the commands work the majority of the time, but not always.

SAme thing happened to me a little while back. Try this, it worked for me:

Router(config)#no service config

Router(config)#exit

Router#copy running-config startup-config

Google (and Cisco.com) truely is your friend when it comes to errors like this.

My routers, well my emulated ones, used to do that constantly with Dynamips on a reload. You learn this command really fast.
