I recall looking at this a while back and letting it go, but it is bothering me again. This is from spec sheet, but it doesn't make sense. There are 6 PCIe slots, MLOM, and MRAID. Where are slots 8, 9, and 10?

This came up in another thread, but I wrote an article on CLN describing how I deployed multi-cluster CER for two different customers. https://learningnetwork.cisco.com/s/article/cer-multi-cluster-design

I am having a hard time writing a query for a GetXMLDocumentData step. I was trying to model it off one in a previous script, but I am striking out. Here is the XML that was returned to me from a REST call. TEXT[<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8...

I am working on an NDFC deployment for a customer and I have run into a road block regarding user authentication. The customer wants to use RADIUS to a windows NPS server for user authentication which makes sense. NDFC would prefer to use local crede...

I have been trying to debug an issue where return calls to CER (913XXXXXXXXXX) are being sent to the onsite alert phone # instead of the calling station. I have been looking at the config guides, and I can't find where it says anything about that. Is...

To add a new phone model, you will need to install a devpack. I always lean towards the most recent one, but YMMV. Once the phone model is known, you could upgrade the firmware version with a COP file. Whether it is a devpack or COP, you will need to...

@Jens Albrecht makes a good point, but I still think the problem is that the router thinks the port is busy. The "*" in the first character of the "show line" output indicates that the router thinks both the console and line 33 are busy. Apply "no ex...

It is hard to say without more detail regarding the environment. Are you talking about two VPC pairs, or 4 independent switches? As a general statement, full mesh and VPC is an easy way to create an inadvertent routing loop. That would (obviously) be...

I always put "no exec" on lines that I am using for outbound telnet/console servers. Without that, the router will think something is trying to log in if the other side generates any characters. You also need "transport output telnet".

As an additional frame of reference, note the fan speeds on my M5. You can see that I have 4 PICe cards and the SAS HBA in the RAID slot. Way less than your M4. My old M4 isn't an exact parallel because I removed the 40G card and the SAS HBA PICe car...
