Never touched the SAR-A, but if the flash card is embedded in the chassis, it either a support case, or its trash, I'm afraid.
If you can swap the CF3 card with a working one, just put the desired image files to the flash, and you should be good to go.
I havent seen that behaviour before.. What kind of CSM are you using? v1 or v2? If you are using v1, SROS/TimOS 9 does not support that card, and my guess is that this includes the boot.ldr as well. Support for CSMv1 ended in release 6.something, as far as I can tell.
No prob. Giving it more thought, the leftmost router R1, is a L1 only router. Hence it will only have a default route towards the other areas. R2 is L1/L2 and have the other area routes in its routing table, and will forward using longest-prefix-match. R2 will never use R1 as next hop for inter-area ...
If you want only one e-pipe, you have to change the encapsulation on Nokia devices from QinQ to Null, and use sap 1/1/4. If you can live with one epipe per VLAN, just create: epipe 2 sap 1/1/4:2.*
epipe 4 sap 1/1/4:4.*
Or change ports on Nokia towards switches to dot1q, and skip the .* in the ...
Without giving it too much thought, I believe it will prefer an L2 route over an L1 route since its destination is in an other area. Hence R2 -> R5 is the most appropriate route to take.
Its just the highest number you can assign a SDP.
Depending on sw/hw of your SAR-8, the number of actual configured SDP's will be quite a bit lower than 17407 SDPs.
You can get the actual number by contacting your Nokia support / sales manager to get the scaling numbers for your setup.
Hi. Since you want to upload it, I assume you want to enable FTP server or similar on the 7705. You can do something like this:
/configure system security ftp-server user <username> access ftp (console snmp) * make sure you don't remove console if this is the ssh/telnet user user <username> home ...
It should be compatible with all CPM using CF cards.
Not sure of the capacity of this CF card.
Just make sure that the capacity is sufficient for your usecase, eg. boot, logging, scripting etc..
