Hi,

I have one CSS11501 without PCMCIA flash disk, I tried to booted it via network, it can normally boot, but after bootup, there are some error message. After login to CSS, it accept very few command only. The attachment is the screen capture file during CSS bootup. Can you please give me some advise to resolve this problem?

Best Regards,

Hi,

What you are seeing is normal without having any type of disk in the CSS. The first error is because the CSS is trying to save the running-config to startup-config which is trying to save to disk which you do not have. The other commands like show run are trying to do another disk operation by showing your config. All in all, this is because youhave no disk in the CSS.

The net boot is a minimum load up and should not be run this way permanently, You really need to get atleast one pcmcia disk for operation.

Hi,

Do you mean if without any PCMCIA disk in my CSS11501, although we can boot it up via FTP server, but this CSS11501 still not work normally?

Best Regards,

That is correct. Network boot is not normally used from a production CSS perspective.
