RELOADING THE SYSTEM B SOFTWARE

This chapter describes how to reload your system software if the following conditions occur:

■The boot image has been accidentally deleted or corrupted.

■The device is unable to boot.

To reload the software, you must have the software installed on a trivial ﬁle transfer protocol (TFTP) server on the LAN. You can also use a TFTP/ Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP) server.

Install the software on your server from the CD-ROM.

The loading procedure in this chapter:

■Reformats the ﬂash memory.

■Looks up the IP address of the server.

■Transfers the boot.68k ﬁle from the server.

■Creates the /primary directory.

■Places the image in the /primary directory.

To reload the system software, follow these steps:

1Reset the bridge/router by turning the power switch off and on again.

If the boot image has been accidently deleted or corrupted, the bridge/router should go into monitor mode, which is indicated by an angle bracket prompt (>). Go on to the next step.

If the bridge/router does not go into monitor mode, then contact your network supplier. You do not need to complete the remaining steps.
