Hi Arun,

What about

#erase startup-config

will that switch let you erase the startup config???

Hi Milan,

the switch is in production now so i can't able to do it .Sorry

Looks like a bad switch, maybe?

Hi Arun,

That could be because of low memory. Try to set VTP in Transparent Mode

and start eliminating all unnecessary vlans.

If this now works then:

you can tried resetting the switch and Watch the bootup messages.

that would be alot of VLANs, but good point!

Is your switch in client mode ?
