ASCII Boot | When using the ASCII Boot feature on a NETBuilder II bridge/router with intelligent |
| I/O modules or a PathBuilder S5xx series switch, configuration commands that |
| apply to the physical ports on the intelligent I/O modules or to the physical ports |
| on the PathBuilder may not get configured correctly if they are the first commands |
| executed in the boot.cfg file. There is a small timing window where the |
| commands affecting the physical ports will not execute successfully because the |
| software drivers have not finished initializing the ports. |
| This problem can be avoided by either including a PAuse command at the |
| beginning of the boot.cfg file to delay the execution of the first configuration |
| command by a few seconds or by putting the configuration commands that do |
| not apply to the physical ports at the beginning of the boot.cfg file. The intelligent |
| I/O modules on the NETBuilder II bridge/router are the HSS |
| the MP ATMLink Module, the MP Ethernet |
| |
| (and LoadConfigs) is new with the Enterprise OS software version 11.4. |
Boot Cycle | If the OfficeConnect bridge/router fails to complete the boot cycle and enters a |
Continuous Loop | boot cycle loop (for example, if the boot image is corrupted), press the ESC key to |
| interrupt the boot cycle and enter monitor mode. |
BootP Server and | To use the Enterprise OS software version 11.4 Autostartup feature, you must |
Autostartup | upgrade the remote node, the central site, and if you are using the 3Com BootP |
| server, you must upgrade that as well. Autostartup supports a |
| server if the remote node is identified by its MAC address. |
Bootptab File | The 3Com BOOTP Server for Windows does not read the bootptab file for any |
| date greater than 2000. The problem resides in Microsoft's system libraries. A |
| patch can be downloaded from Microsoft. This patch can be found at the |
