When a core dump occurs on a redundant SRP and you have the router configured to
store network core dumps, the SRP that experiences the trouble retains the management
Ethernet port to perform the core dump. This prevents the standby SRP from taking over
operations until the core dump is complete.
When a router uses local NVS to store a core dump, the SRP does not need the
management Ethernet port. However, because of the immense size of local core dump
files, using NVS to store core dumps is not practical.
The SRP-120 available on the E120 router and the SRP-320 available on the E120 and
E320 routers has a second NVS card which is dedicated to storing core dump files.
The core dump monitor eliminates the impact that core dumps may have on redundant
routers by allowing you to manage core dump files in NVS. The core dump monitor allows
