    Reply

    • Even I faced similar case..repeated the below command multiple times at loader prompt..and resolved..

      boot nxos.7.0.3.I7.4.bin

      Reply

  • I setup as described on this page, when nxos boot, I get loader prompt and i run command boot nxos.7.0.3.I7.4.bin.
    But every time I press enter, it adds an extra carriage return and this is messing up initial config as yes to abort auto provisioning also feeds carriage return to setup secure paasword and then when setting initial password and enter, will also feed a carriage return to confirmation password making confirmation password blank and it wont let me abort.
    How do I get rid/fix extra carriage return?
    Any help is appreciated.

    • I know this is old but I was running into this issue as well with the built-in Windows telnet client that would auto launch my console session when using Chrome or Edge. I switched to Firefox and it gave me a prompt to select a handler for the telnet connection, I was able to switch it to PuTTY which seems to handle the carriage returns correctly.

  • I’ve followed the steps exactly but I have my own image – nxosv.9.2.3.qcow2. When I go to open up program, it just hangs. I waited overnight. It is set to defaults – 2 cpu, 8192 memory, etc… I even changed the name as the instructions state from nxosv,9.2.3.qcow2 to sataa.qcow2 but the switch won’t stay on unless I either capitalize the S in sataa.qcow2 or add nxosv9k-sataa.qcow2 to the Linux name. I’ve fixed permissions a dozen times. I even tried VNC instead of putty or secureCRT. VNC just states not boot. Both putty and secureCRT just hangs there when I have the Sataa.qcow2 or nxosv9k-sataa.qcow2 applied. Can someone please help me out? I’ve tried on two different laptops. One laptop I have the vL2/L3 configure. This one I don’t have configured but same thing happens. I need to create a lab for VPC configuration between several pairs of L3 switches.
