ISR4451x with NIM-SSD

[t-van]

The SSD on the router is new to me and my question is how could I utilize it and could I load a VM on it?  if so how?  anyone experience with this router?  Thanks.

Hi,

You actually can't.  NIM-SSD is an interface between router and storages devices. 

 Router is not meant to install anything but the Software provided by vendor.

Thanks for your response.  If so, then what is the NIM-SSD for?  it got 200GB on it.  from what I understand so far that but not sure if this true or not, I must have WAAS then install Virtual Container.

Yes, you are not worng but there are a lot more to undestand. You end up having a virtual environment but it is not the VM we used to see like VMWare, it is much more then this. You need large storage because you may have ruge amount of data on it.

I trully recommend you to read this:
