Initializing the Access Server

Specifying Initialization from a Load Host

To specify initialization from a network load host, use the following command:

Local> INITIALIZE FROM ETHERNET

This command causes the access server to request the image name stored in its NVRAM from a load host.

Specifying an Image Name When Initializing

You can specify the name of an image when initializing. For example, the following command causes the access server to request the image named WWENG2 from a load host:

Local> INITIALIZE FROM ETHERNET IMAGE WWENG2

Specifying Initialization from Flash RAM

If a access server has Flash capabilities, you can specify initialization from the image stored in Flash RAM by using the following command:

Local> INITIALIZE FROM FLASHRAM

Updating Flash RAM

If a access server has Flash capabilities, you can update the image stored in Flash RAM with an image from a network load host. Use the following command:

Local> INITIALIZE FROM ETHERNET UPDATE FLASHRAM

This command causes the access server to request the image name stored in NVRAM from a load host to update Flash RAM.

Specifying a Delay Value with INITIALIZE

When you enter the INITIALIZE command, you can specify a delay value as shown in the following example:

Local> INITIALIZE DELAY 10

This command causes the access server to wait 10 minutes before initializing.

The range for the delay value is from 0 to 1440 minutes. The default delay value is 1.
