Modifying the Configuration Register (confreg)

This section describes how to modify the configuration register by using the confreg ROM monitor

rate. To set the configuration register without affecting the baud rate, use the current configuration
register setting by entering the show ver | inc configuration command and then replacing the last
(rightmost) number with a 0 in the configuration register command.
Restrictions
The modified configuration register value is automatically written into NVRAM, but the new value does
not take effect until you reset or power-cycle the router.
