Configuring Network Boot for a Passive SCM

To configure network boot for a CSS 11800 passive SCM:

1.Configure an FTP record for the passive SCM, if not already configured. Refer to “Configuring a Boot Configuration Record for the Passive SCM” in this chapter.

2.Ensure the passive SCM management port has access to the network drive from which you are booting the CSS. If the primary SCM fails, the passive SCM will connect to the remote disk and load the software configuration.

3.Configure the CSS to boot from a network drive. For example, enter:

(config-boot)#passive primary boot-type boot-via-network bootrecord

To display a list of configured ftp records, reenter the command and use a “?”.

For example, enter:

(config-boot)#passive primary boot-type boot-via-network bootrecord ?

4.Optionally, configure a primary configuration path to allow multiple CSSs to use the same boot image while keeping their configuration information in separate directories. Your FTP daemon must support the drive mapping. Also, the CSS must be able to access the configuration path through the FTP server as defined in the FTP record. For example, enter:

(config-boot)#primary config-path e:/adi_directory/
