Booting Using Console Commands
Boot Command OptionsThe following table lists the command options you can select for the boot command:
Option | Definition | Associated Options |
|
|
|
B | This command, without an | – |
| argument, starts a new boot |
|
| sequence to load the access server |
|
| with an executable image using the |
|
| default boot parameters. |
|
B name | This command and the argument |
| name specifies a nonstandard boot |
| image. The access server looks for |
| the software name; first from Flash |
| RAM, then from the network. |
B | In this command, the media part of |
media:name | media:name specifies which boot |
| media to use. |
B MNENG — This command instructs the access server to look for the MNENG2 software image first in Flash RAM, then from the network.
b /tftp/serversw — This command instructs the access server to look for image /TFTP/SERVERSW; first in Flash RAM, then from the network. If you want lowercase letters, you have to use quotation marks. For example:
b "/tftp/serversw"
B "" — This command and the quotation marks (explicit null name) instruct the access server to search for any image in Flash RAM. If the access server is unable to find an image in Flash RAM, then it loads from the network. The network load host defines this software and is typically based on the Ethernet MAC address of the access server.
FLA: — Use Flash RAM. For example:
B FLA:MNENG2
ETH: — Use the network to find a load host. For example:
B ETH:MNENG2
FLA:ETH: — Use Flash RAM first, and if that does not work, then use the network to find a load host. For example:
B FLA:ETH:MNENG2
