5.1.1.1 Persistence
The BOF persist parameter can specify whether the system should preserve system
indexes when a save command is executed. During a subsequent boot, the index file
is read along with the configuration file. As a result, a number of system indexes are
preserved between reboots, including the interface index, LSP IDs, and path IDs. If
persistence is not required and the configuration file is successfully processed, the
system becomes operational. If persistence is required, a matching x.ndx file must
be located and successfully processed before the system can become operational.
Matching files (configuration and index files) must have the same filename prefix,
such as test123.cfg and test123.ndx, and are created at the same time when a
save command is executed. The persistence option must be enabled to deploy the
Network Management System (NMS). The default is off.
Traps, logs, and console messages are generated if problems occur, and SNMP
shuts down for all SNMP gets and sets; however, traps are issued.
5.1.2 Automatic Discovery Protocol
Automatic Discovery Protocol (ADP) is triggered by a factory-installed boot option
and automates the initial commissioning of 7705 SAR nodes. When the 7705 SAR is
started for the first time, an ADP keyword in the BOF causes automatic discovery to
run as part of the TiMOS application image. Refer to the appropriate chassis
installation guide, “Automatic Discovery Protocol”, for more information on ADP.
ADP supports null, dot1q, and qinq encapsulation on:
• all ports on the 8-port Ethernet Adapter card on the 7705 SAR-8 (qinq is not
supported on the version 1 card)
• all ports on the 8-port Ethernet Adapter card on the 7705 SAR-18 (the
7705 SAR-18 does not support the version 1 card)
• all ports on the 10-port 1GigE/1-port 10GigE X-Adapter card on the
7705 SAR-18
• all ports on the 6-port Ethernet 10Gbps Adapter card on the 7705 SAR-8 Shelf
V2 with CSMv2 and the 7705 SAR-18
• all ports on the 8-port Gigabit Ethernet Adapter card
• all ports on the 6-port SAR-M Ethernet module
• all Ethernet ports on the 7705 SAR-H, 7705 SAR-Hc, 7705 SAR-W,
7705 SAR-Wx (all variants), 7705 SAR-X, 7705 SAR-A (all variants), and
7705 SAR-Ax
