The "normal" thing is that the router saves everything into NVRAM and
comes up fine after a power outage.

There have been tons of IOS bugs in the past, though, where some parts
of the config didn't end up in NVRAM (or were saved in a way that
could not be parsed at starup).  Which IOS version is on that box?

You can look at the saved config with "show startup-config" - and if
the stuff isn't there after a "write", you need to have a talk with your
favourite Cisco representative...

(Of course it *could* be a hardware problem, but those usually don't
manifest in missing parts of the configuration).
