Entering Commands at the Boot Prompt | Troubleshooting |
Set Hardware | Specifies the last three numbers of the server’s |
| Ethernet address. The first three numbers will |
| be supplied automatically. |
| The Ethernet address should have been set at |
| the factory. Setting an incorrect address could |
| cause serious network problems. |
Set IPAddress ip_address | Specifies this server’s IP address. Uses the stan- |
| dard numeric format. |
Set Loadhost ip_address | Specifies the host to attempt to load the file |
| from. The IP address should be in standard nu- |
| meric format (no text names are allowed). |
Set RARP {Enabled, Disabled} | Enables or disables the sending of RARP que- |
| ries during the boot sequence. It is enabled by |
| default. |
Set Secondary ip_address | Specifies a backup loadhost. The IP address |
| should be in standard numeric format (no text |
| names are allowed). The backup loadhost will |
| be queried if the primary host cannot load the |
| server. |
Set Software filename | Specifies the name of the file to load. The MPS |
| will automatically add .SYS to the filename you |
| specify. Note that all protocols must have a file- |
| name specified (either the default or set by the |
| user). For more information, see Appendix D. |
| TCP/IP users must use the Software option to |
| specify the loadhost, the loadfile, and their own |
| network address. |
| TFTP users can specify a complete path name |
| (up to 31 characters) if the file is located in a di- |
| rectory other than the default.The case of the |
| filename must match that of the filename load- |
| ed onto the host computer. |
Show Server | Use this command when issuing other com- |
| mands to view the current MPS setup. |
