5.3.2Correcting CSMIM-T1 Parameters

The following parameters must accurately reflect both the CSMIM-T1 and the network environment in which it operates.

Verify the CSMIM-T1’s IP address using the addr command. If your network configuration does not support the factory defaults, verify the following parameters using the addr command:

•The Broadcast Address

•The Subnet Mask.

•The load/dump Gateway Address (which must be specified if the preferred load server host is located on another network or subnet).

•The IP encapsulation type. Many systems have hardware Ethernet interfaces that are IEEE 802.3 compliant, but very few actually do 802.3 IP packet encapsulation. Use the default, Ethernet, unless you know absolutely that your LAN does 802.2/802.3 IP packet encapsulation.

You can use the defaults for the name of the image file containing the CSMIM-T1’s software and the address of the preferred load server host. If the value for the image name is incorrect, the CSMIM-T1 cannot boot. Correct the name using the image command. If the address for the preferred load server host is incorrect, the boot takes longer, since the CSMIM-T1 has to broadcast for a host. Correct the load host’s address using the addr command.

Confirm that the CSMIM-T1 boot parameters are correct by using the appropriate ROM Monitor commands. Modify any boot parameters that are incorrect or missing. Boot the CSMIM-T1 either by entering the boot command at the console, or by holding down the SET UP button until the STAT LED blinks rapidly, and then releasing.
