Hi,

Just to make sure.  Did you save the config after applying the boot variable command?

can you also mahe sure this is the only boot variable command?

Reza

Hello Experts,

any hints  OR any perfect IOS upgrade that will make stabilty of 2 Core switches

Thanks

We tried reloading a VSS pair one at a time and one will go into ROMmon and the other will "wait" for the first one to come up.  The only way out was to reboot both of them simultaneously.

In disgust, we upgraded to SXJ1 and it seems to work better than SXI4a and we also found the J1 to be more "responsive" or snappier than the I4/I4a. 

thanks for the reply dear, i will try and i will post back.
