2.8.2Self-Booting the CSMIM-T1

After you have installed your optional Flash ROM, the CSMIM-T1 can be self-booted. You can check your CSMIM-T1 configuration by entering the config command at the Monitor:: prompt. The config command displays the current configuration information and revision levels. If your device has Flash ROM installed, the line “FLASH PROM size:” will appear under the REVISION/CONFIGURATION INFORMATION section.

This section contains a description of what you need to do to boot your CSMIM-T1 from FLASH ROM. See Section 3.2 for more information on the commands referenced here. Proceed as follows:

1.Enter the ROM Monitor mode (see Section 2.4.1 for information on entering the ROM Monitor mode).

2.Set the Internet address to a valid IP address and the Subnet Mask to a valid mask using the addr command.

3.Using the sequence command, set the interface sequence to self.

4.Execute the boot command (expect this to take upward of 5 minutes).
