Asante Technologies 6200 manual Selecting the Boot Bank Number, Loading Software Locally

	Bootstrap Configuration
Setting	Description
Load Mode	The current method for loading the IntraSwitch’s
	software.
	Local — Executes the software image file from the
	IntraSwitch’s internal flash memory (default setting; the
	IntraSwitch automatically reverts to this setting after
	downloading a new software file).
	Remote — Loads the software image file from a server
	on the network.
	▲ Important! To use the remote option, you must
	select BootP-TFTP or TFTP as the Boot Mode.
Boot Bank	The number of the image bank being used to load the
	IntraSwitch’s software.
	Note: The image bank is where the runtime code is
	stored; the IntraSwitch has two image banks: Boot Bank
	and Destination Bank.

Selecting the Boot Bank Number

To select the Boot Bank that the IntraSwitch will boot from the next time it boots up:

1	Open the Bootstrap Configuration Menu by
	typing b in the Configuration Menu.
2	Type a in the Bootstrap Configuration Menu
	to toggle the Boot Bank from 1 to 2 (or vice

versa).

Loading Software Locally

The IntraSwitch will always boot locally unless the user sets it to boot load remotely. It would then download the new image code and reset to load locally.

1	Make sure the IntraSwitch is configured with
	a valid IP address.
2	Open the Bootstrap Configuration Menu by
	typing b in the Configuration Menu.
3	Type l in the Bootstrap Configuration Menu
	to set the Load Mode to Local.
