Hello all,

To tell the result, I want to know why compactflash adaptor has been used?

I think Supervisor can switch without compactflash adaptor..?

Is there a reason people use it??

I want to know the words even though you have a knowledge not perfectly!

Regards,

SK

You took off SP-bootflash. You did not remove SP. When you took off SP-bootflash, SP (switch processor) loaded IOS from Disk0.

SP= Switch processor

SP-bootflash is a storage.

 Ah..?

OMG.,

Masoud, where is located in SP?????

OMG... I've misunderstood

Check this picture also.

Compact flash adapter is installed inside SP bootflash( location you just removed the the card)

The compact flash card is inserted inside that adapter.

Is it clear?

Thank you Masoud.

I know the adaptor's appearance.

But the only reservation I have is that where is located in "SP"?

Take a look at this picture.

SP is a processor. It is CPU.

OMG...

SP means SP CPU?

If so, my question is clear perfectly.

CPU= Central Processing UNIT

SP = Switch proccesor

You can call SP a CPU.

Thank you so much!!!!

It's really helpful^^

You are most welcome. Happy to help.

Masoud

Excellent ! :)

Did I understand your question?

You insert the adapter into bootflash( In you picture is shown NOTHING)

Take a look at this picture.

SP CPU is SP.

Is it weird question..?

I searched on the internet, but they didn't mention about compact flash dapator.

I personally believe that this is only used to place the flash card on it. 

My perception is that without this adaptor the sup should work completely fine as they would have internal flash on the sup module. 

HTH

Thank you.

Then, you mean that you don't know the exactly reason.

It is just your personal thought?

Just storing the flash card on it...?

The adaptor's task is that?
