Hi All
I'm using Dynamips to play "what if", for a network that I'm planning to implement. My network consists of 3 X 3725 each with a NM-16ESW, 3 X 7200 with NPE 225s. On two of the 3725s I've created 5 VLANs that I'm trunking. I'm now attempting to add one additional VLAN to the third 3725 but I'm getting an error message that there is not enough space in NVRAM ( the error is below). I'm assuming that the 3725s are sharing a virtual NVRAM, owing to the fact that I've attempted to remove a VLAN from one of the other 3725s and I also a not enough space error on that router as well, even though it allowed me to add the VLANs in the first place.

I've checked the flash: and this shows that the vlan.data file in only 660 bytes, yet I've used up 16MB?

SW1#dir
Directory of flash:/

1 -rw- 660 <no date> vlan.dat

16777212 bytes total (0 bytes free)


The vlan.dat on the other two routers is being reported as 900 bytes.

Short of deleting the vlan.dat file ( which I believe is going to be my only option) does anyone know what the true limit of the VLAN NVRAM is, and is there a way to define separate VLAN NVRAM space for each router?

I overcome this sort of issue by erasing the flash, squeezing it and then doing a wr mem. Works fine after that!

Hi conspathas

Thanks for the response, I've tried the erase and that seems to work just fine.
