Nonvolatile Storage

Depending on the model, each SRP module has either two Type II PCMCIA nonvolatile storage (NVS) cards or two ATA flash cards (0, 1). (See Figure 5.) One card is loaded with the system's software and configuration files while the other card holds core dumps. The NVS cards in the active SRP module are designated disk0 and disk1. The NVS cards in the redundant SRP module are designated standby-disk0 and standby-disk1. The PCMCIA card is factory installed.

Caution: Before you insert or remove flash cards from a running router, we strongly recommend that you halt the SRP module or shut down the router. Failure to do this can result in file corruption in one or both cards. See Replacing an NVS Card for more information.
