NVRAM problem
Hi all,
I have a AS5350, the NVRAM can't save the configuration whatever I set the config-register as 0x2102 or 0x2142. Once I restart the box, the configuation is missing. Sometime I reload it from CLI, the boot can be processed, it stopped at self-test.
When I restart it, I saw " the NVRAM area is corrupt...it is using default value...".
Any thing could be the problem? Thank you.

David

My guess: bad flash.

The flash looks good, I can load any file into the flash and never lost. Only nvram, I always got 0x101 after reboot.

Re: NVRAM problem [ In reply to ]
From a case survey, this is almost surely an NVRAM hardware problem. I
had said "flash" because I was mistakenly thinking that on the 5350,
NVRAM is part of main flash, but in fact it's a separate 512KB card on
the motherboard. I believe the NVRAM is soldered on the mainboard, so
the FRU would be the chassis.

I suppose you could just load the config from TFTP instead.

Re: NVRAM problem [ In reply to ]
In some older Cisco devices, if the processor board (where the NVRAM is
located)
is placed in Anti-static bags, the NVRAM was erased and/or the battery
power was
drained due to the bag. I don't remember the models off hand, it's been
too long...

Re: NVRAM problem [ In reply to ]
Thanks Aaron and John.
It seems not worth to get it repair. TFTP should be ok.
Thank you.
