lost dhcp in cisco871
I have a new Cisco 871 running on IOS 12.4(15)T4. this router is connected to my ISP on fe4 and the LAN side is connected to fe2 to a switch. fe1 connects to a 2600 router which provides an alternate path to other isp. fe0 and fe3 are not connected.
the router does NAT and DHCP. the config is working to my satisfaction. My problem is when this router restarts, it lost the dhcp. sh run will not dispaly the dhcp section. I am 100% sure i have wri mem before power cycling it. indeed, whenever i power cycle the router, it only lost that dhcp session but not other config. at one point, i change the hostname and power cycle it and the new hostname stays but not the dhcp. after i put the dhcp section in, it works the way i want.
version 12.4

Also, do a show ver and show file sys to ensure your have enough memory to save the config. An IOS upgrade would certainly be good too.
Good luck.

Hi Folks,
thanks for the lead, I am in touch with Cisco see if it is hardware issue. i have never seen this before.

Really strange. I mean, as long as your saving properly it should be good. I would say a memory issue, either size or corruption, but you did say that it saved the hostname change. that being said, who knows when the memory started having the issue. good luck, please post your finds, I'm definately interested.

I update the IOS to later version which fixes the problem

i don't think it is an IOS bug. I have other routers (same model) running the same release of IOS that does not demonstrate the same problem. this is the only one that I am aware of. Since upgrading the IOS fixed it, I don't plan to pursue why it did not work in the first place.
Well just FYI
I work with Cisco routers everyday
and everyday we see bugs
IOSs that work on one router wont necessarily show the bug on it, because this involves the hardware running, you can ask Cisco themselves :) and thats why they call it a BUG

my opinion is to try to upgrade your IOS
usually this stuff are IOS bugs
try using 12.4 17a
