Troubleshooting Entering Commands at the Boot Prompt

For example, a typical TCP/IP conÞguration might use the following commands:

Figure B-1:BCP Command Examples

Boot> CHANGE IPADDRESS 192.0.1.229 Boot> CHANGE SOFTWARE /tftpboot/MSS1.SYS Boot> CHANGE LOADHOST 192.0.1.188

Boot> CHANGE SECONDARY LOADHOST 192.0.1.22 Boot> FLASH

% Initialization begins in 5 seconds.....

These commands set the MSS IP address, the software loadÞle, and the loadhostÕs IP address (as well as that of a backup loadhost). The server then reboots using the Flash command and will attempt to load the Þle MSS.SYS from the host at 192.0.1.188.

The following commands are available from within the Boot ConÞguration Program.

¥Help displays a one-page summary of available commands and what they do.

¥Init 451 reboots the MSS after it has been conÞgured. It will restart itself with full functionality. If it canÕt, the server will attempt to reload continuously.

¥Change option tailors your server conÞguration and is used with one or more of the options listed below.

ÐBOOTP {Enabled, Disabled} enables or disables the sending of BOOTP queries during the boot sequence. It is enabled by default.

ÐDHCP {Enabled, Disabled} enables or disables the sending of DHCP queries during the boot sequence. It is enabled by default.

ÐHardware xx-xx-xxspecifies the last three numbers of the serverÕs Ethernet address. The first three numbers will be supplied automatically.

NOTE: The Ethernet address should have been set at the factory. Setting an incorrect address could cause serious network problems.
