[c-nsp] Sup720 ignores boot variable

["Rolf Hanßen"]

Hello Stuart,

looks like you are right, I will try to reboot in the next maintenance
window and check if it works now.

xxxx#remote command switch show bootvar

BOOT variable = bootdisk:s72033-advipservicesk9_wan-mz.122-33.SXJ6.bin,1;
CONFIG_FILE variable does not exist
BOOTLDR variable does not exist
Configuration register is 0xA141

xxxx(config)#config-register 0x2102

xxxx#remote command switch show bootvar

BOOT variable = bootdisk:s72033-advipservicesk9_wan-mz.122-33.SXJ6.bin,1;
CONFIG_FILE variable does not exist
BOOTLDR variable does not exist
Configuration register is 0xA141 (will be 0x2102 at next reload)

kind regards
Rolf
