Dude I'm just gonna tell you right now that you have the absolute BEST content regarding Nokia/Alcatel SR routers on net. I've been looking all over the to find some quality content to go along with the NSR1 study material from Nokia, and you, sir, have a gold mine of thoroughly explained, and easy to follow content WITH real-world scenarios and analogies. It's easy to show people how something works, but it's not so easy to teach them, but you sir, do both really well. Keep the vids coming!

[@thomastucker3764]

Thank you for the kind words, Eyesaac - I certainly do appreciate them. Please continue to enjoy the videos, and good luck on your NRS1!

[@synchit1593]

Thomas Tucker Hey man, that is really good stuff! You asked in the video how to do it better and any suggestions, my suggestion is keep em coming, not many people can put this all together and you done a fantastic job. Taking time out and sharing knowledge, I truly appreciate your efforts and that is very informative. Thank you for making these videos!

[@thomastucker3764]

@@synchit1593 Much appreciated, synch! I'm glad you're enjoying the videos! I'll try to have another video up by the end of next week. I've been pretty busy with work lately, but I'm still working on some training for you. Thanks again for watching, and feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

Thomas Tucker wow, I wish you get some more time and soon! Without a doubt this is the best content I have seen so far and your efforts and dedication can be seen. Much respect for you and others who are on this track and helping fellows. I can go on and on... but really appreciate the knowledge sharing! All the best mate!

I hope this comment is true! I just moved into a new position where I'll be managing a broadband solution with Nokia. 6 years Cisco experience and 1 year Brocade. Never touched Nokia in my life, other than the phone I had 20 years ago.... The SR-OS looks really confusing... Hopefully in 14 hours I'll be a Nokia expert.

Super awesome series, Is it possible if you could do a video on Multi chassis LAG ? Honestly the best I've seen so far, much appreciated :)

[@thomastucker3764]

I appreciate the feedback, Abdullah! I tried configuring MC-LAGs a few years - I planned of doing a BNG lab for residential subscribers - but couldn't get traffic to pass over the MC-LAG. The MC-LAG was oper-up and even had valid MACs exchanged, but I couldn't ping across. If I remember correctly, GNS3 has some inherent limitation when it comes to L2 functionality. I may give this a try on EVE-NG, though... I'll have to carve out some time to experiment. Thanks for watching!

[@thomastucker3764]

No problem at all, Thomas. Great name, by the way! :) It's very wasy to get SR-OS up and running in GNS3. I've gotten quite a few e-mails regarding that, so please allow me a few days to get a video created that'll walk you through it. My time during the week is limited, but I'll carve out a few hours this weekend to get that taken care of. Don't forget you owe me a thumbs up! Thanks for watching :)

[@gopinathloganathan]

good work mate

[@faisalak7]

This is brilliant :) thanks for this. Is there any difference between Router and switch OS or both are same like Cisco IOS . thanks

[@thomastucker3764]

Thanks, and you're quite welcome! TiMOS/SR-OS is a Unified Operating System, so Service Routers (like the 7750) and Ethernet Service Switches (like the 7450) use the same software - like Cisco IOS or Juniper JunOS.

[@avinashsankar]

@ThomasTucker, Thank you so much for uploading these videos. You are a lifesaver. Could you advise how to get the TIMOS-SR-13 or 12 so that I can set up a virtual topology on GNS3 like how you have done here? I couldn't find one from GNS3's website.

[@ajaycnt]

Thank you Thomas. It is a very informative video/demonstration. On the second slide doesn't CPM stand for Central Processor Module?

[@thomastucker3764]

Hi Ajay, thanks for watching as well as the question! Nokia (fmr. Alcatel-Lucent)'s documentation refer to the CPM as both a "Control Plane Module," and a "Control Processor Module." Because the CPM is responsible for managing the Service Router's control plane, I opted to adopt "Control Plane Module" as the meaning.

[@Sandeep-hp6fb]

What is the difference between IOM and IMM?

[@thomastucker3764]

Hi, Sandeep! An Input-Output Module (IOM) contains slots where Media Dependant Adapters (MDAs) can be installed, allowing you to mix and match ports based on your particular requirements. An Integrated Media Module (IMM) contains fixed, built-in MDAs that cannot be changed. As an example: you may have a single 10-port/10GE IMM installed in the chassis; to match that port density, you'll need a 2-slot IOM installed in the chassis and two 5-port/10GE MDAs installed in the IOM. Thanks for watching!

If i want to import files from usb to our router then what should i do

[@thomastucker3764]

Hi Vanshita, thanks for watching and thanks for the question! Unfortunately, I don't believe the CPMs/SFMs come equipped with a USB drive; only CompactFlash. You'll need to [1] get a CompactFlash adapter (there's also a chance your laptop may have one equipped), [2] copy the files from the USB disk to your computer, [3] copy the files from your computer to the CompactFlash disk, then [4] insert the CompactFlash disk into your 7750. If the CompactFlash disk contains your OS files (boot.ldr, iom.tim, both.tim, ...) then you'll need to install it into slot #3 of the CPM/SFM. These routers boot from slot #3 (cf3:) by default. Let me know if you have any more questions!
