"%Error opening tftp://255.255.255.255/network

Problem: Service Configuration Error Messages

Occasionally, during bootup of Cisco hardware through Cisco IOS software, error messages similar to these
are displayed:
· %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://255.255.255.255/3620−confg (Socket error)
· %Error opening tftp://255.255.255.255/3620.cfg (Socket error)
These error messages are related to the default service configuration option built into Cisco IOS software,

Solution

In order to disable this feature, issue the no service config global command.
Router#config terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line.
Router(config)#no service config
Router(config)#exit
Router#copy running−config startup−config
These error messages no longer appear at the next bootup of the router.
