I have powered up an older Cisco router. It is a 7204 running IOS 12.0.

It seems to work fine but I can't find the "IP Route" command to create
static routes. It doesn't show up as a command even in Enable mode. Do
I need to activate some other routing capability for that command to
become available?

TIA

Thanks for the fast reply. Unfortunately, that command also does not
show up.

It's like something basic is not enabled and the commands are being
hidden because of that.

post the output of show version and post the config

I will upload sometime but right now I am tied up for the afternoon.
Thanks for the input.

I suspect that the router is running the boot image rather than the
usual system image and so IP routing is not even in the image.

Does your router prompt have "(boot)" as part of the prompt string? If
so, you should make sure you have a system image in flash, configure
with the appropriate "boot system" commands, make sure that the config
register is 0x2 and reboot the system. That will boot the system in
the system image and you will have the IP routing capability that you
need.

Do you see the word (boot) as part of your prompt?

Thanks for all the pointers. It was in the boot mode. I loaded the
wrong image.

Now up and running.
