Hi,

new Extreme switches have a lot of RAM.
Now we can download xsf scripts to the flash,
but it is possible to use linux tmpfs -> /dev/shm (for example 20 MB)
This could be useful when you need to download some dynamic scripts.

Is it possible to add this to EXOS?

We use ip-security functions like arp validation and dhcp-snooping,
after restart/reboot ip-security and arp tables are empty.
This produce many logs like 'ARP violation' etc.. and all devices don't have network access,
until they get IP from DHCP.
Scripts use many lines of " conf ip-security dhcp-bindings add ...".

Second thing EXOS 15.X has a bug/feature  in ip-security function,
that forces us to do "conf ip-security dhcp-bindings del then add..." by hand
or "conf ip-security dhcp-bindings del and "wait when the device discover/renew IP address from DHCP.

We wait when our partner will reopen the TAC case.

Regards.

You can do that today without a volatile file system, although I understand the concern about the proliferation of scripts in Flash...

What is it exactly that you would like to accomplish with these scripts? Just curious...

Hi Sumit and Daniel ,

thank you for your answers.

Daniel I know that, and I need that 🙂
What I want to achieve:

1) after reload/reboot, switch will download a script after 5 minutes
2) upm will check every 10-15 minutes tftp server for new script, and load it

Regards

Jarek,

What would be the point of having a volatile file system to store scripts? You would have to remotely reload any scripts you wanted to use every time you rebooted a switch.
