Chapter 9. Boot Options

This chapter covers the boot options available. Normally, the device boots from the Integrated Boot Device (IBD). You need to use this chapter only for maintenance or diagnostic operations or for software upgrades.

The boot options allow you to boot the 2210 using the following methods:

Table 13. Description of Boot Methods

Boot Method	Description
IBD	Boot from the IBD using queries. Use this method when the 2210 is
	con®gured for a different boot method and you want to boot the 2210
	from the IBD instead.
TFTP Host Server	Boot from a load image ®le on a TFTP host server. Another router can
	act as a TFTP host server.
BOOTP	Boot over the LAN port using the Bootstrap Protocol.

Additional options available at the boot monitor prompt let you run diagnostics, display con®guration information, load con®guration memory from a host on the network or through the Service port, clear con®guration in SRAM, and download and upload router code through the Service port.
