Cisco solving error opening tftp://255.255.255.255 at bootup
When you power on or restart a switch that does not have a config.text file in flash memory, the switch tries to get configuration files from a TFTP server. If the configuration files are not found, the switch automatically configures the service config global configuration command, which causes the switch to continue searching (in the background) for the expected configuration files.
If the service config command does not find the configuration files, these error messages appear:
%Error opening tftp://255.255.255.255/network-confg (Socket error) %Error opening tftp://255.255.255.255/cisconet.cfg (Socket error) %Error opening tftp://255.255.255.255/2620xmr01-confg (Socket error) %Error opening tftp://255.255.255.255/2620xmr0.cfg (Socket error) *Mar 1 00:03:29.695: %SYS-4-CONFIG_RESOLVE_FAILURE: System config parse from (tftp://255.255.255.255/network-confg) failed *Mar 1 00:03:29.699: %SYS-4-CONFIG_RESOLVE_FAILURE: System config parse from (tftp://255.255.255.255/cisconet.cfg) failed *Mar 1 00:03:29.703: %SYS-4-CONFIG_RESOLVE_FAILURE: System config parse from (tftp://255.255.255.255/2620xmr01-confg) failed *Mar 1 00:03:29.707: %SYS-4-CONFIG_RESOLVE_FAILURE: System config parse from (tftp://255.255.255.255/2620xmr0.cfg) failed |
These message should be considered as warnings.
In order to stop this from happening at boot time add “no service config” and “no boot network” to the global configuration (and save these changes)

Cisco break sequence from putty
During for instance password recovery there is a need to send a break to the router.
In putty (tested with both Windows and Linux) this is done by pressing ctrl+break.
