RE: [nsp] Factory reset for Catalyst 2900

It's an IOS Switch, so can't you just 'write erase' and reload, or does this
not remove the VLAN database?

I think it's of the "hold button while power cycling" flavor -
details can be found by going to the cisco web-site and searching
for "recovering lost passwords".

Any idea how to fix it?

Hi,
one such situation is when you need more features thauõÅ;ll
e.G. my situation was Multilink PPP, CEF, when CEF had to go
off.I think there are some issues with CEF and RTP as weuõÅ;an
certain IOS releases, is CEF and policy routing.

the situatuõÅ;wi
sufficient and dCEF starts to fail, which is a big problem, so you
have tuõÅ;ca
configuration. the indication of this situation is the
message uõÅ; d

I believe others will provide you with another situations, when CEF
must go off.

haha - there are several times to make your berth around cef wider than =
a
cockney on Stella.

FirsuõÅ; i
issue.
These can't be rammed past the 128 mark and cef eats a wuõÅ; l
memory
(and I mean a whole lot) if these beasts are running a cumbersome IGP
and/or full BGP tables. What you sauõÅ;n
if
your hitting peak cpu on a NPE-200 (or -225) 128Mb (or less) 7206, you =
may
find your buõÅ;r
puppies can
go to 512Mb memory and take the solid NPE300, 400 and the neuõÅ;E

Second on my list of dos and don'ts - watch your IOS. Some of the =
early 12
train is horrid with cef. PeruuõÅ;he
what do
you run?

Channelised circuits and CEF can be problematical, especially E1. 750uõÅ;ri
128
DRAM, in style, and channelised have caused probluõÅ;in

In general, CEF does wonders for your cpu util but at heavy memory =
cost. It
rocks when it works but be careuõÅ;be
of the
bugs it throws at you are far from obvious. Personally I run it on =
some
7xxx,uõÅ;
