Bug Details

Description

Symptom

When a Customer wants to configure more than 3k of data using the command "menu main prompt", the following error appears: "Maximum Banner size 3000 bytes reached. Banner message is truncated" If less than 3K & more than 2K of string length is configured with "menu main prompt" at the moment of saving the configuration to NVRAM, the following errors appears: % String too long to write to nvram (2932):Compressed configuration from 6104 bytes to 3386 bytes That message is being printed from the parser and is due to the menu being sent as 1 long continuous line (2932 bytes). The parser has a explicit check to make sure the line is not greater than MAX_NV_LINE which is set to 2048. So anything over 2048 will have this problem. There seems to be a disconnect with what the menu is defining as the max size (3k) and what the parser will allow (2k). The menu likely shouldn't be sending it as 1 complete line.

Conditions

Every time the user wants to save more than 2K of output using the command "menu main prompt"

Workaround

Configure less than 2K of output using the command "menu main prompt"

Further Problem Description

Customer wants to use Cisco Router as a Terminal Server. He wants to install 4 x HWIC-16A modules in order to have 64 terminal connections. He wants to configure more than 64 lines of output using the command "menu main prompt", this command saves a string of text to be used as the menu prompt for the Terminal Server. In code, this command doesn't let the user save the necessary amount of lines. The menu is restricted to 66 menu items and 2996bytes in length. Customer gets the following errors when he tries to configure at least 64 lines. "Maximum Banner size 3000 bytes reached. Banner message is truncated" Also, when the Customer tries to save less amount of output, this is the message that is shown: % String too long to write to nvram (2932):Compressed configuration from 6104 bytes to 3386 bytes
