Nokia SROS 20 distributed model

[forwardingplane]

After much pain and reading the entire VSR deployment guide for SROS 20, I have a working model that neither the CPM nor the IOM crashes. SROS 20 seems to be quite a bit more temperamental when it comes to hardware, creating a fun set of crash / reboot loops with a variety of fairly cryptic errors. Since I have seen this asked in multiple forums and other online outlets I will put my working configurations here so others don't need to fight it. Once I work out the integrated model I'll post that too.
