Firmware Upgrades and Bootline Commands

BootlineCommands

•Load switch firmware upgrades

•Set whether power-on system tests (POST) are automatically run at start-up

•Change the master/slave relationship for TSM/CPUs and CSMs on SmartSwitch 6500s

7.2.1Accessing the Bootline Prompt

Bootline commands are executed from the bootline prompt. The bootline prompt is not part of the switch console, and is accessible only after a reboot and before the switch firmware is loaded. Consequently, the bootline commands can be used only through a terminal connection.

Perform the following steps to gain access to the bootline prompt:

1.Connect a dumb terminal (or workstation running terminal emulation software) to the RJ-45 terminal port on the front of your ATM SmartSwitch.

2.Enter the reboot command from the terminal.

3.Wait for the following message to appear:

“Press any key to exit to bootline prompt.”

4.Before the countdown reaches zero, press a key to access the bootline prompt. Notice that the bootline prompt (=>) differs from the prompt used by the switch console.
