CSS 11500 Series Query

[ifullerton]

Hi

I have 2 CSS 11500 series units working in a master / slave configuration.

Both units are identical in regards to hardware, IOS, etc.

1 unit allows the running config to be saved by the ' copy run start' command where the other goes through the motions of saving, but a 'show startup-config' shows nothing.

This unit seems to be operational in every other regard. Is this a hardware fault or am I missing a software command somewhere along the way ?

Thanks

Ian

You get such problems when the device is running short of memory. Try increasing the DRAM because what is happening is that the device saves the config in the NVRAM but it does not have enough DRAM to display the configuration when the "sh startup-config" command is executed. A temporary solution is to restart the device, if the problem persists then you have to upgrade the memory.
