off. Without Full Volatilit y, if the switch or director experiences a fault condition, a

dump of the embedded memory space is captured into nonvolatile memory. This dump

retains the last 30 frames transmitted from and last four frames transmitted to the

embedded port. With Full Volatility installed, this dump does not occur when a fault

condition occurs. Although this limits the amount of d iagnostic information available

for potential problem resolution, the vast majority of p roblems are typically resolved

without the dump files.

Contact your sales representative to purchase a feature key for Full Volatility.
